L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

"The white 2015 As Duas Ladeiras, which means "the two slopes" in Gallego language, is a blend of Godello grapes from the slopes of the Bibei river and its tributary, Xares, on stony shallow soils that provide structure, tension and marked minerality. It fermented in barrique and oak vat with indigenous yeasts where it also matured for some ten months before bottling. The slate soils (there is also gneiss here) have a tendency to provide some reductive aromas akin to flint stone that I like, intermixed with some white flowers and a touch of pollen. The palate is sharp and doesn't have any of the compressed character of warmer vintage; it feels balanced with good freshness and a stony, austere sensation in the finish. I love this. My feeling is that it's going to have a great evolution in bottle. 3,800 bottles were filled in August 2016".
