Estévez Bodegas y Viñedos Versos De Valtuille Pal De La Vega 2023

The 2023 Godello Versos de Valtuille Pal de la Vega is from Valtuille de Abajo, Bierzo. It was aged for 12 months on fine lees in 500-liter French oak barrels. The nose is led by the élevage, with green apple, herbs and a slightly reductive hint of creamed corn. Boasting elevated acidity balanced by richness and oak, the 2023 gains weight without losing agility. This is a full, expressive Godello. Drinking window: 2025-2038.
