The 2023 La Llorona is the fourth vintage of this Godello from a 38-year-old vineyard on sandy soils in the hamlet of Pieros, an elevated zone of the valley at some 500 meters above sea level. It's very sharp—the yields for Godello were very low in 2023, and the wines are concentrated; the grapes ripened early but kept a lot of acidity and salinity. It fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured in barrels of different sizes, from 225 to 1,000 liters for 10 months. This only underwent partial malolactic and was bottled at 13.5% alcohol with a pH of 2.77 (!) and 6.2 grams of acidity. It is vibrant, with electricity, a fine thread and a super long and vibrant finish. It made me think of a Savagnin from Jura. 7,351 bottles produced. Drink: 2025-2033.
