Rafael Palacios 2024 As Sortes Godello

"The 2024 As Sortes Val Do Bibei offers...subdued aromatics of dried herb and wet stone. There’s tension and minerality from the high altitude and northern exposure of the Godello vines, not to mention the age of the vines, the oldest in the producer’s book. A precise, laser-focused wine of integrated acidity...with so much freshness from the cooler days...at this higher elevation...it’s just gorgeous. Drink now through 2036." -Jeb Dunnuck, 96JD

As quaffable and enjoyable as Godello can be from Valdeorras, it rarely reaches the level of richness, balance and complexity as it does in the hands of Rafael Palacios. Having left his family’s estate in Rioja in 2004, Rafa settled in the Val do Bibei, a rugged, weathered and off the beaten path sub-zone of Valdeorras. Bordering Ribera Sacra, the Val do Bibei is a tortured landscape of granitic, terraced slopes dotted with hard to reach and hard to farm vineyard plots. Whereas most of the rest of the DO is at lower elevation with limestone and schist soils, Rafa works exclusively with Godello planted on granitic soils at much higher elevations, crafting the 1st ever 100-point white wine score from Galicia and continuing the Spanish wine renaissance.
