BODEGAS EMILIO MORO Godello 'La Revelia' - DO Bierzo 2019 Bottle ORG/VEG/VGN (rtc)

Description

Wine is an art. If you know how to listen, it speaks to you, it lets you know when it needs racking and rest. It’s just like a living creature that we have to understand, tend to and care for. So said Emilio Moro, founder of the estate. Three generations later this belief is still upheld by José and Javier Moro. Based in the world famous village of Pesquera de Duero in the heart of Ribera del Duero the brothers believe that their wine has a life of its own and with each vintage a part of them is immortalized in it. “It evokes the land where it comes from”. Eschewing traditional notions of classification like crianza and reserva, the family were eager create wines with personality and individuality. Expressions true to their vineyards and their family’s heritage. Creating reds from their cherished Tinto Fino, a prized clone of Tempranillo, and more recently crafting Godello wines from Bierzo - vibrant whites that are as exciting and lively as their labels suggest.

Tasting: An intense straw yellow wine, clean and bright. The nose is complex with hints of ripe stone fruit and dried flowers. On the palate, the wine has volume and length thanks to its careful ageing in French oak barrels. The finish is unctuous and the acidity and minerality of the grape variety are evident.

Food matches: Fish, rice with mushrooms (boletus edulis), duck confit.
