While Albariño is the signature white wine for Galicia, Godello is quietly catching up. For this wine, the white Godello grapes are harvested manually in a single day. When they reach the winery, after destemming, the must is pressed and remains cold for 24 hours. After this process, they transfer the must to 225, 500 and 700-litre barrels, in which fermentation takes place and subsequent aging over the course of a year. The barrels are emptied for bottling five days before the next harvest.
A KWM exclusive.
As early as 1752, the ancestors of the (Raul) Pérez family were vine growers in Valtuille, making wine from some of the plots that today form part of the winery. Tradition, experience, and respect for the terroir and for the work of their ancestors define the character of their work, mark the profile of their wines and the life of nine generations of the family linked to the family business. The winery is located in Valtuille de Abajo, t the foot of the western slope of Castro de la Ventosa, a Roman site that gives its name to the project.
750 mlWine writer Luis Gutiérrez's 'Burgundian' description is apt: "its palate is layered and broad with stunning notes of nectarine, white peach and lemon, plus a lightly spiced finish from oak aging. The acidity is vibrant and saline, complimenting its weight and texture perfectly."

Lagar de Costa is a family winery, managed through more than a century with the effort and dedication of three family generations dedicated to championing the indigenous Albariño grape and to crafting it into high-quality white wines. The vines have an average age of 30-plus years and the wine is a light gold colour with an expressive nose of mineral, spring flowers and lemon meringue. Creamy-textured, rich, vibrant, and well-balanced. It would go well with a wide array of seafood, soft-ripened cheeses or simply on its own in the summer shade.

Produced by Raul Perez, one of Spain's greatest winemakers, from ancient pre-phylloxera vines in a single vineyard. Valtuille Cepas Centenarias represents one of the most recognized wines of the winery.
The first vintage of the wine was made in 1999.
For its production, they use grapes from a single plot of the sandy clay zone of the “Mata los Pardos” vineyard, one of the most valued and least productive of the town, from which the most elegant wines are obtained.
The plots, facing east, are plowed every year so as not to contaminate the soil. Its yield, barely reaches 4 bunches per vine.

From Bodega Attis
Several major changes have breathed new life into this estate located in the village of Dena in Galicia, including the French touch brought by winemaker Jean-François Hébrard and the conversion to organic farming. There is an authenticity and a charm that make Albariño unique. This version offers notes of peach pit, candied lemon, honey and a refined minerality.

Château Fuissé dates back to 1604 and has been in the Vincent family for five generations. Each generation has added land, increased quality and enhanced the worldwide recognition of the château. Today under the direction of Antoine Vincent, Jean-Jacques Vincent’s son, Château Fuissé has reached the pinnacle of quality in the region with its wines rivaling the more famous appellations of Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet and Meursault to the north.
The most famous vineyards of Les Brûlés, Les Combettes, and Le Clos surrounding the château are bottled as specific cuvées to showcase their unique terroir. Presently, both Les Brûlés and Le Clos are in review by the INAO for premiers crus designation. Currently, Mâcon is the lone region in Burgundy lacking even one premier cru. But if one (or more) of the region’s vineyards wins approval, such a designation will be the first-ever premier cru in the Mâconnais.) Château Fuissé also produces quality-driven wines sourced mainly from family-owned properties in the Mâcon under the Vincent Signature label. Each of these wines is produced with the same care and expertise as the domaine bottlings.
