Description Godello Atlantico Region : Rias Baixas, Spain Grape : Godello This wine is the first and only Godello wine made in Rias Baixas (most are grown in neighboring Valdeorras) and as such yields one of the most unique expressions of the variety in the world. Tropical and full-bodied, a sultry blend of pineapple, mango and salinity on the palate with a festival of orange blossom on the nose. “The compact, healthy and full Godello clusters are cut and placed into small boxes to arrive at the winery in just a few hours, where they are kept cold until they reach the selection table. Here, a selection of only 65% of the grapes go straight into the press, where we obtain a tasty and expressive must to be fermented in stainless steel vats, in contact with its own yeasts, for more than 20 days. Once the wine has been obtained and its finesse and delicacy checked, we begin to work with the fine lees in order to obtain greater volume on the palate. When the cold winter weather arrives, we begin “bâtonnage” of the lees with a slow, unhurried motion sustained until late autumn. 4% of the wine is transferred to French oak barrels where it is aged on its lees for 3 months, after which time it is blended again. Mar de Frades Godello Atlántico is bottled 6 months before its release to give it some aging time in bottle.” When the bottle is at the correct temperature for consumption, a traditional Galician boat appears sailing on the waves.
