Vinos de Encostas 'Mais Alá' Godello 2018 (750 ml)

Máis Alá comes from the O Bolo subzone of Valdeorras on a steep hillside of old vines in A Falcoeira y Bibei.  The altitude makes for a fresher and more acidic finished grape that is destined to make great wine.  There are only 4000 plants per hectare, and the fruit was hand harvested on a flower day and brought to the cellar in Ribeiro. Natural fermentation began in stainless steel and then finished after being moved to used French barrels of 500 and 700 liters for a ten-month aging period (malolactic fermentation did not take place).  The aromatics are highly intense with notes of flowers, spices, fresh fruit, and mineral.  The palate is balanced and elegant, however very meaty and powerful as well, with rich fruit and a lot of character.  Enjoy this wine with full-flavored foods such as soups and stews, pork dishes, hearty white fish, and roasted vegetables.
