It reflects the perfect balance between purity, freshness and age-worthiness. Refreshing acidity, crisp green appley fruit, and a hint of peaches ripening in a warm orchard. The clean finish is marked by lingering mineral notes and a balancing touch of salinity. This is delicious now but will also evolve into something even more beautiful with a few years in bottle.

Oh, where to begin. He’s the guy, at the tender age of 24, who co-founded renowned US based Spanish specialist wine importer, Olé \u0026amp; Obrigado. A farmer, producer and historian all in one, he’s dedicated a huge portion of his life to exploring, identifying and preserving old varieties and clones, and has successfully identified a whopping 200+ old clones of Palomino Fino and Palomino Jerez and revived and re-planted over 20 grape varieties on the brink of extinction. As well as his projects in Jerez, Alberto also makes wine from extraordinary sites in Yecla, Rioja and as we have here, Valdeorras. \u003c\/span\u003e Valdeorras enjoys a unique climate—warmer than its western neighbors, protected by mountains from Atlantic winds, yet cooler than Bierzo to the east, shielded from hot Continental air. Winemaker Alberto Orte crafts A Portela Blanco from a single vineyard at high elevation, planted in slate and granite soils. This combination of altitude, soil, and moderate climate results in an elegant, mineral-driven Godello.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ALBERTO ORTE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55239130022274,"sku":"A6390123","price":29.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2466\/1541\/files\/BC_Upload_6e44493f-31a2-404a-bdc0-13bb17111ad5.jpg?v=1748611686"},{"product_id":"clochard-la-calcinara-2024","title":"Clochard La Calcinara 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Nutty nose.
