A lightly mineral expression of godello showing some crab apples with subtle grilled herbs and crushed stones. Fresh and medium-bodied on the palate with a saline twist in the middle. Flavorful finish, but pure and elegant. Drink now.

This is more vertical, more mineral, more pure, beyond the variety, with more complexity, fermented in different materials (7,000-liter stainless steel vats, 2,000-liter oak foudres and some 500- and 600-liter barrels) and matured in the foudres and barrels for seven months. It has good ripeness and development of flavors, with 13.5% alcohol and keeping the acidity and freshness, with no impact from the wood and a very tasty, almost salty finish. 19,000 bottles and 300 magnums were filled in April 2023. Only the oldest vines, around five hectares, are used for this wine.

A well-knit white, creamy and light- to medium-bodied. Features a fragrant edge of fresh tarragon and pine accenting the yellow plum and grapefruit sorbet flavors, as well as rich hints of vanilla and grilled macadamia nut. Salty, lingering finish. Drink now through 2028. 2,900 cases made, 400 cases imported.
