Heiner Lobenberg über:
Cornamus 2023

96
/100

Lobenberg: Fast 50 Jahre alte Godello. Auf bis zu 600 Metern Höhe. Im großen Holzfuder vergoren und ausgebaut. Keine 3000 Flaschen. In der Nase Holunderblüten, auch Apfel und Zitronenzesten. Tolle salzige Mineralität und steiniger Grip neben der sensationellen Aromatik und dem strukturierten, virbrierend energetischen Geradeauslauf.

Jahrgangsbericht

2023 war sehr warm, aber er ist deutlich kühler und balancierter als der noch heißere und trockenere 2022. Nicht so aufregend und extrem wie 2021, eher eine reife und harmonische Version von 2020. Und so ist 2023 durchaus eine Fortsetzung der so großen Jahrgänge seit 2019. Luis Gutierez, Parkers Mann für Spanien, fasst den Jahrgang 2023 anhand von Alvaro Palacios Weingütern ganz im Westen und ganz im Osten, somit Landesübergreifend so zusammen: 2023 was an even more generous crop than 2022 … the wines have better balance, and it doesn't feel like a warm year at all. In fact, the wines feel more like they come from a cool year. It's a vintage that has a tendency toward reduction, not as much as 2020, but still reductive. But it's an elegant, stony reduction...The quality of the 2023s is stunning. There is a level of precision, cleanliness, symmetry and elegance that, if the end of the élevage and the bottling goes as expected, I must conclude that 2023 might be the finest vintage ... There might be other individual wines that reach higher peaks, but as an overall portfolio, the vintage 2023 represents the strongest collection ever produced.

Parker über: Cornamus

-- Parker: After the red Dolio, they produced a new white to be sold at La Place de Bordeaux, the 2023 Cornamús. It's a Godello, mostly from Aviador, a steep vineyard planted 20 years ago on gneiss, quartz and slate soils, and a small percentage of other grapes. It fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and matured in a 2,000-liter oak foudre with lees for 15 months. The vineyard is from a cooler, higher-altitude zone (500+ meters) close to Castro Caldelas, and it delivered a vibrant wine with 13.5% alcohol and a pH of 3.2 coupled with six grams of acidity. The nose is different from the other whites. The wine comes through as more nuanced and detailed and is fresh and sharper, with a vibrant palate. 3,050 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2025.

Weingut über: Cornamus

-- Weingut: Cornamús is the result of the work Algueira has been doing for the last 45 years into recovering the indigenous local white varieties, with a special the focus on the Godello. That variety itself has a unique talent in transmiting the essence of freshness and balance of our terroir. Our goal was topreserve that identity keeping it as the main component of this wine while being suported by the minerality of our soils, granite and quartz taking the protagonism. Our duty at the winery was the let the wine express it’s elegance by letting it rest in our oldest foudres interveining as minimum as possible. As a result, Cornamús became the perfect expression of the potential of our landscape to produce unique whites that condensate this decades of constant dedication into recuperate our history.

Colin Hay über: Cornamus

-- Colin Hay: (Ribeira Sacra DO; 100% Godello planted on two very steeply sloping terraced vineyards at 200 and 600 metres of altitude; aged for 15 months in oak foudres; 13.5% alcohol; just 3050 bottles produced). A new presence on la place. Fascinating and, again, highly distinctive. Wild mint, Bergamotte, eucalyptus, privet, a hint of yuzu too and some lovely subtle floral notes. In the mouth this is, for now at least, dominated by the citrus – above all citron pressé and white grapefruit zest. There’s a more herbal element too – fennel seed and oregano, marjoram perhaps. Indeed, we have here something like the parfumier’s essence of mountain herbs. Fabulous. Glassy and intensely fresh with a rapier like clarity. Sapidity and salinity combine on the finish to render this even more succulent and juicy. Delicate and very refined yet vivid and vibrant at the same time. This has much in common with wines like Asphodèle and Lilium from Château Climens, above all in its crystallinity and that signature ‘white’ florality.

Decanter über: Cornamus

-- Decanter: A new and interesting addition to La Place de Bordeaux this year. Super flowery aromatics with lemon juice and some white grapefruit. A slightly waxy, oily texture with some burnt caramel alongside peach and pear. Quite a savoury take with bright and zesty citrus elements alongside pronounced saltiness. Complex and enjoyable. Director Fabio González Pérez and winemaker Fernando González Riveiro

Jane Anson über: Cornamus

-- Jane Anson: A blossom of white flowers on the opening aromatics, fragrant and enticing, elderflower is dominant, alongside lilies and apple blossom, clear saline kick, sea spray and oyster shell alongside crisp citrus and lime zest. Full of energy and extremely moreish. Great stuff. Fernando Gonzalez Riveiro winemaker, 3ha of vines entirely from the Godello grape. Granite, quartz and gneiss soils, steep slopes from 200-600m altitude, dry farmed, fermented in 1000l oak casks, native yeasts, then 15 months in large oak casks, producing 3,000 bottles. First time on the Place. Tasted twice, already looking forward to the next time. This is a textbook 94 point wine that is hard to not drink way too quickly.
