Description of Louro do Bolo

Louro do Bolo is made with 100% own vineyards of small Godello plots with an average age of around 25 years, on sandy soils of granite and clay sediments. Rafa Palacios focuses his viticulture work on traditional methods, minimising modern treatments and conducts, and of course, managing the vineyard in an ecological way. The result is a wine that expresses the terroir of the O Bolo area, in a Godello with a saline and Atlantic profile, refreshing and angular. The distinctly mineral and citrus finish makes it ideal for pairing with shellfish, high quality seafood, and dishes with sharp edges and a certain acidity such as Nikkei cuisine.
