synergy fine wines

There are 38.4 acres of vineyards planted on steep trellised hillside plots of pure slate with very little organic material. The trellised vines yield 2.9 t/acre.  The Godello grape, once widely planted in the Valdeorras region, was almost extinct until the founders of this winery, Horacio Hernandez and Jose Luis Bartolome, revived it 24 years ago.  Pear, pine and anise flavors are focused and clean in this firm white. Mineral-tinged acidity provides real backbone, with citrus and floral notes lingering on the finish. This wine is stainless-steel fermented.
