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, with boulders 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.
