From winemaker par excellence Raul Perez comes this stunning white. A blend of Godello and Dona Blanca sources from vineyards planted in 1925 and 1940. The grapes are pressed then fermented in 500 and 700 liter barrels, remaining untouched for one year. The two parts are then blended before bottling. The balance of minerality and acidity against crisp apple and pear fruit is perfect.
Wine Advocate: 94 Points
The 2023 La Vizcaína La del Vivo comes from Valtuille and Cacabelos, with some 10% Doña Blanca (from a 700-liter amphora, whereas all the Godello was in foudre). It fermented without temperature control, without racking and without malolactic. It also took time in finishing fermentation, and some 60% of the wine went through malolactic. There is a whiff of oak, which is noticeable in the texture. There are some 10,000 bottles.
