O Luar Do Sil sobre lías White wine

O Luar Do Sil on lees is a white wine with Valdeorras designation of origin and made with Godello grapes. O Luar do Sil is the Galician project of the Rodero Villa family. Her will and passion have been the driving force behind this new journey.

For a long time we have had the dream of making a white wine with our philosophy: we are looking for a special, complex and intense wine, with long aging. This search for the authentic has led us to the Galician denomination of origin of Valdeorras. It is a small and traditional wine area with a very scarce treasure, the native Godello variety.

Its river, the Sil, sculpts a valley in slate and granite soils, with a unique climate.

The unique conditions of Valdeorras mean that Godello provides us with subtle, mineral and fresh wines, with the necessary complexity to evolve over time.

We have consolidated this project with a winery in the village of Seadur, in Ourense, called O Luar do Sil as a particular tribute to its river and its magical Moon.

Vinification: Once the grapes have been destemmed, they undergo a cold maceration below 8 degrees to obtain the maximum expression of the fruit. It is pressed at low pressure, racked to remove the coarse lees and the must is fermented with selected yeast at a controlled temperature for 14 days in stainless steel tanks. Once fermented, the fine lees are preserved to gain unctuousness, volume
