There are only 2,500 bottles of Escalada 2009, a fraction of later vintages. After seventeen years it is deep gold with amber glints and smells of dried fruit, honey, roasted nuts and spice. The acidity still keeps it fresh; full on the palate, with slate and a long, salty finish.
To us it is proof that Godello can age. Do not serve it too cold, around 10 °C is right, with aged cheese, lobster or chicken with morels.

The winery
In 1979 Fernando planted his first plot on an overgrown piece of land belonging to his wife Ana's family. Today the vines grow on Roman-era terraces above the Sil, on slopes of up to 85%.

It began in 1979, when Fernando planted his first plot, “Carballo Cobo”, on an overgrown piece of land belonging to his wife Ana's family. Reviving viticulture in such a tough setting was a real risk. Today the family farms around 25 hectares in 86 plots along the Sil and beyond. Algueira is one of the pioneers that brought heroic viticulture back to the Ribeira Sacra.
