Heiner Lobenberg om:
Verdello Antiguo 2021

97–99
/100

En virkelig stor mineralsk Verdelho fra gamle vinstokke, en af Spaniens store hvidvine. Den høje stenede intensitet understøttes af havtorn, grøn abrikos og kvæde, utroligt saftigt. Alt i alt dog ret mineralsk, stenet, salt og meget sprød og frisk.

Årsrapporten

Den yderst aromatiske, enestående årgang 2021 begejstrer i Spanien med en friskhed, der er uden sidestykke. Efter sommerens tørkestress bragte et gyldent, køligt efterår det sensationelle vendepunkt. De tykskallede druer leverer langtidsholdbare vine fulde af karakter, modne tanniner og livlig syre.

Parker om: Verdello Antiguo

They have a lot of local names in Monterrei, so understanding the grape varieties can be a challenge. Verdello Antiguo is a very old clone of Godello that he has recovered from a massal selection from the mountain vineyards to produce the 2021 Verdello Antiguo, which is a lot more austere, less aromatic and less fruit-driven, with a subtle nose of pollen, yellow flowers and beeswax. The vines must be close to 25 years old now and were planted on slate and sand. The juice from pressing the full clusters fermented in used 500-liter French oak barrels, where it was kept with the lees for 10 months, followed by 12 more months in stainless steel. It's structured and juicy with good acidity, textured and with great grip. It's a powerful, round and moderately ripe white with 13.28% alcohol and very good freshness reflected by a pH of 3.36. It should age nicely in bottle. This is a completely different Godello. 2,000 bottles were filled in August 2023.

Suckling om: Verdello Antiguo

This has subtle aromas of crusted salt, nori, earth and some dried mangoes. The palate is well constructed and long, with fresh acidity. Persistent, with depth, freshness and a restrained finish. This is an old clone of godello that was isolated from the mountain area.

Tim Atkin om: Verdello Antiguo

Coming from two different soil types, part sand and part slate and schist, the wine truly reflects the combination of its origins. With a very pretty nose that offers floral notes, lychee and a touch of reduction, it is a very precise wine that reveals delicate honey notes and stone fruit. It has underlying ferrous freshness and a stoney, slatey finish. The wine is elegant, precise and finishes with a pithy lift.
