Castro Candaz Ribeira Sacra La Vertical Blanco

The 2021 La Vertical hails from Chantada in Ribeira Sacra. This is a blend of Godello, Palomino, Albariño and Doña Blanca aged in barrel. It opens with fennel, ripe fruit and subtle floral nuances, followed by a touch of tangerine. The palate is broad yet slightly malic and supple, resulting in an agile, flavorful expression. This is delicate yet energetic.

The 2021 La Vertical was produced with Godello on slate soils in the Quiroga subzone of Ribeira Sacra. It fermented and matured in 500-liter oak barrels for one year. It has aromatic power, with notes of pollen, yellow flowers and herbs. It's ripe without excess and has 13.5% alcohol and a velvety and balanced palate, clean and long. It grows in the glass, which is a good sign. 6,000 bottles produced.
