Valdesil White wine
Valdesil White Wine, 2023, is a remarkable tribute to the Sil River, which runs through Galicia and shapes the narrow valley of Valdeorras. Produced by Bodegas Valdesil, this pioneering and revolutionary white wine is the first in Spain to be aged on its fine lees in deposit. With an alcohol content of 13.5%, this exquisite wine is crafted exclusively from grapes sourced from family-owned vineyards situated on slate rock, located in the parishes of Portela (San Xulián) and Córgomo (Santa Marta) within the municipality of Vilamartín de Valdeorras.
The vineyards are meticulously managed according to the circadian rhythms of the plants, maintaining a year-round cover crop that ensures a vibrant, erosion-free soil. The result is an elegant expression of the Godello grape that, thanks to its lees aging, presents a powerful white wine with strong personality and excellent aging potential in the bottle. Made from select vines grown in Vilamartín de Valdeorras, this complex white showcases fine lees and mineral notes, alongside pleasant citrus characteristics. It boasts a rich mouthfeel with well-integrated acidity.
Valdesil is a versatile wine, making it the perfect pairing for a variety of dishes. Its robust profile complements complex salads, seafood rice, foie gras, white meats, and both grilled and raw shellfish, as well as baked white fish. Experience the essence of Galicia in every sip of Valdesil White Wine, an exceptional choice for any occasion.
