Region: Castilla y León, Spain

Composition: 100% Godello

History: La Maragata should really be called La Paradox, because in the land of Mencia reds and some lost Garnacha, this Godello was born, from high and cool lands, made by Alfredo Marqués, winemaker and viticulturist of Bodegas Pittacum. And also a paradox, because Pittacum’s “motivating” winery is none other than the famous Terras Gauda winery, queen of whites. Out of paradoxes, we focus on La Maragata, a godello harvested in vineyards located at 720 meters above sea level, in the Aquilianos mountains. Its double aging in oak, for a few months on lees and another, until completing 12 months, without them, and its time in the bottle (almost 5 years), make La Maragata, apart from a white for aging, an exceptional wine, al Like that time in the bottle, it has only refined it, making it a real seducer and with a greater potential for aging than it already has. 

Tasting Notes:

Bright lemon-yellow in color. On the nose, citrus notes and toasted hazelnut from its barrel aging stand out. As it opens in the glass, its intensity increases, revealing hints of ripe fruit such as peach, dried apricot, pineapple, and more subtle wooden notes. On the palate, it offers a creamy texture and silky sensation upon entry, flowing with volume and structure to the finish, where it concludes with a pleasant acidity.
