Guitián Godello Fermentado en Barrica White wine

Discover the exquisite Guitián Godello Fermentado en Barrica from Bodegas La Tapada, a remarkable white wine from the 2023 vintage that encapsulates the essence of Spanish winemaking. This wine is made from the Godello variety, showcasing a perfect blend of tradition and modern techniques. With an alcohol content of 13%, it offers a delightful experience for any wine enthusiast.

The meticulous production process begins with hand-harvested grapes delivered in small boxes, ensuring only the best fruit is selected. After careful destemming and crushing, the grapes undergo a cold prefermentative maceration to enhance their flavors. Next, they are gently pressed in low-pressure pneumatic presses, followed by static cold clarification at 8º C. The fermentation takes place in new 225-liter barrels, crafted from a combination of 50% American oak and 50% fine-grained French oak, adding complexity to the wine.

This Godello undergoes aging on its fine lees in the barrels for six months, with weekly stirring to enhance texture and depth. The wine is then filtered and bottled, where it continues to mature for a minimum of six months, developing its distinctive character.

Visually, the Guitián Godello presents a pale yellow color with golden highlights and a steel-like rim, exuding clarity and brilliance. On the nose, it offers a varietal character with high aromatic intensity and a vibrant fruit profile dominated by citrus notes and green apple. You'll also find expressive buttery aromas and hints of pastry, accompanied by floral nuances and herbal notes.

The palate reveals a generous and elegant introduction, with a rich and velvety texture that is beautifully balanced by well-integrated acidity. The subtle oak influence adds complexity and structure without overshadowing the vibrant fruit. The finish is long and persistent, featuring an elegant citrus bitterness that leaves a lasting impression.

This exceptional wine pairs beautifully with complex salads, fish rice dishes, raw and cooked seafood, grilled white fish, oven-baked white fish, fish in sauce, and even cod. Whether you are enjoying a leisurely meal or celebrating a special occasion, the Guitián Godello Fermentado en Barrica is a splendid choice for any table. Experience the allure of Spanish wine culture with this exceptional white wine.
