Characteristics of the vineyard
The grapes used for the production of Maruxa Godello come from our terraced vineyards in the village of Éntoma, from the plots of Regueirón, O Follo, Valdemioto, Granilla, as well as local suppliers in the same village. We harvest the grapes ourselves from these suppliers.
This is the southernmost area of Valdeorras, close to the Galir and Sil rivers. The soil located in the Val do Galir is purely slatey and south facing, good ripening due to the solar effect of the soil on the vine; however, the soils near the Sil are more clayey, pebbly and north facing, later ripening, floral and sharp.
Winemaking characteristics
Manual harvest in 15 kg boxes. Maceration of the grapes in boxes in a refrigerated cooler and in tank 48 hours prior to alcoholic fermentation. Destemming and no crushing of the grapes to favor the primary aromas.
Fermentation with indigenous yeast.
Aged for 3 months on its lees in a stainless steel tank.
Harvest data
The 2024 harvest was the coldest of the last 10 years in Valdeorras, with cold nights and cool days, nothing to do with the last summers. This has allowed us to lengthen the grape cutting period and to have more precision in the vineyards.
Full alcoholic ripeness, with good Ph and acidity.
Shorter yields than in 2023.
Tasting notes
Intense yellow color with a bright greenish rim.
Intense and varietal nose with hints of ripe white fruit, scrubland and very mineral.
Full mouth with good balance, silky, elegant, fresh, persistent and very pleasant.
Ideal pairing with fish, seafood and rice dishes.
