Sorte Antiga 2022 is one of the most exclusive wines from Rafael Palacios, produced in the heart of the Bibei Valley, within Valdeorras. This exceptional wine comes from a single historical plot, planted in 1920 on its own roots, considered one of the oldest Godello vineyards in Spain. The vineyard is located on steep slopes over poor granite soils, where biodynamic viticulture techniques are used, with very low yields that favor the extraction of grapes with great concentration, depth, and mineral character. Harvesting is done manually, and fermentation takes place in open tanks with skins, an unusual method for white wines that adds structure and complexity to the product. Subsequently, the wine ages for approximately 12 months in used French oak barrels, where it gains texture without losing its identity. On the nose, this wine presents aromas of ripe fruit, candied citrus, and orange peel, accompanied by notes of herbs, spices, and a remarkable mineral character. On the palate, Sorte Antiga 2022 is profound, structured, and very long, with enveloping texture, great acidity, and a salty, persistent finish. It is a high-level white wine with great aging potential, ideal for pairing with fatty fish, shellfish, complex dishes, or even haute cuisine.
