2023 Bodegas Rafael Palacios Louro do Bolo
Secondary Description
Valdeorras
Mainly Godello, supported by a little Treixadura. The fruit for this wine is sourced from parcels in the municipality of O Bolo, surrounding the villages of Chandoiro, Lentellais, Outardepregos, and Santa Cruz do Bolo. The vines are, on average, 25 years old, planted at elevations exceeding 600 metres on sandy granitic soils with clay deposits. The vineyards are managed using organic and biodynamic practices, respecting traditional cultivation methods. The grapes were gently pressed and fermented in 35-hectolitre French oak foudres before aging on fine lees for four months before bottling. (NT 14/05/25)

Luis Gutierrez
The young, balsamic and still faintly medicinal entry-level white 2023 Louro is dense, ripe and powerful at 13.9% alcohol, pungent and intense with a bitter twist in the finish. It`s very tasty, almost salty, with cleanliness and precision, combining power with freshness and elegance. This is quite impressive and a preview of the rest of the 2023s to come. 93+ points
