In the glass and in the cellar

Grape variety: 100% Godello

Vintage: 2022

Production: 18,000 bottles

Soils: Slate

Aspect: South-west

Climate: Mediterranean microclimate with Atlantic influence

Vinification: Static settling (débourbage) and spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts, without temperature control, in used chestnut and French oak casks (750 litres). Fermentation takes place on the full lees with gentle bâtonnage until it is complete. This is followed by clarification, ageing in stainless steel and bottling.

Ageing: Seven months in stainless steel off the lees, followed by bottle ageing.

Alcohol: 13%

Tasting note: In the glass, Escalada 2022 shows a pale golden yellow and a dense viscosity that hints at its full-bodied character. On the nose it opens with clear terroir notes, followed by orange blossom, fennel, fine yeasty notes, hints of pastry and a touch of lactic character. The palate is dense, structured and creamy, with well-integrated acidity and a long, lingering finish.

The winery

Algueira

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%.

Still unsure?

How long has Algueira existed, and who started it?

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.
