Branco de Santa Cruz 2022 is a standout example of Telmo Rodríguez’s Galician project. This wine is made by restoring ancient vineyards on the steep slopes of the Bibei River, using a traditional blend of local varieties, predominantly Godello. The grapes come from small parcels grown organically on granite terraces with low fertility and are hand-harvested. Fermentation is done with native yeasts followed by about 10 months of aging in barrels and fudres, preserving the purity of the vineyard and landscape. Aromas include white fruit, citrus, and floral notes, with delicate hints of brioche and spices. On the palate, it shows broad texture with Atlantic freshness, fine acidity, and minerality, finishing elegantly and persistently. It is best enjoyed between 10 and 12 ºC, paired with seafood, Atlantic fish, maritime rice dishes, Galician cuisine, and poultry.
