Veronica Ortega, La Llorona 2021

Place: Bierzo, Spain

Grape: Godello

Vibe: Intriguing

Godello can sometimes be a bit rich for my liking, but the vines here are planted at altitude for some mountain freshness that keeps things beautifully balanced. This has a slightly oxy, sherry-esque vibe that adds proper intrigue to the ripe, fleshy stone fruit and a finish so long I can practically still taste it. ABV: 12.5%
