Algueira Escalada Godello 2022

Lifted nose of apricot yogurt, honey, cinnamon, peach and nectarines, touches of vanilla and caramel. Rounded and creamy palate.

The 2022 Escalada is a Godello varietal produced with grapes from a vineyard called Carballocobo on a steep slate slope. The grapes were destemmed, the juice fermented with indigenous yeasts in 8,000-liter oak vats, and the wine matured in 1,000-liter oak vat for 10 months. It's serious and a little austere, with shy aromas of yellow fruit, pollen and beeswax. It has a very tasty palate with moderate ripeness, 13% alcohol, balancing acidity and good freshness; it is clean and precise, with a long finish with a faintly bitter twist. 2,370 bottles were filled in August 2023.
