O Luar Do Sil Godello is born from the adventure of Bodegas Pago de Capellanes (Ribera del Duero) in Valdeorras. Pago de Capellanes arrives in the DO Valdeorras, attracted by the characteristics of the region, one of the oldest designations of origin in Spain. Taking advantage of the natural conditions of its soils and climate that favour a different viticulture, it is recognised for the recovery of native varieties, ensuring the origin and highest quality of genuine wines.
Production:
A young white wine from traditional viticulture made entirely from the autochthonous Godello variety, Valdeorras's star variety. The grapes come from a hillside vineyard with granitic soil, composed of old vines, at an altitude of 450 metres in the village of Sedaur.
Tasting Notes:
Clean and bright. Good intensity on the nose, with fresh herbal notes like fennel and hay along with a floral touch and very ripe stone fruit notes. The palate is subtle, delicate, and mineral. The citrus notes give it a fresh and elegant finish.
THE WINERY:
Pago de los Capellanes is a relatively young winery, founded in 1996 when Paco Rodero, the son of Doroteo Rodero, and his wife, Conchita Villa, recovered the family vineyard, expanding the property by acquiring neighbouring plots.
The winery is located close to the village of Pedrosa del Duero in the heart of the Ribera del Duero region, and its vineyards are divided into 35 parcels, from which their grapes are vinified separately. The soil is made up of clay and chalk. The vineyards are planted only with Tempranillo or Tinto Fino grapes, the variety indigenous to the region. They only harvest 5,000 kg of grapes per hectare, well below the 7,000 kg allowed by the Regulatory Council of the Ribera del Duero Region to guarantee the highest quality.
