Behind the wine
Godello, aged on its lees.
Cielo is a young white made from 100% Godello grown in a 1.5-hectare vineyard in El Bierzo. White fruit, citrus and flowers define its fresh character and rounded palate.
The vineyard lies at 600 metres above sea level, on gently rolling terrain with a Mediterranean climate influenced by the Atlantic. Its vines, aged 40 and 100 years, are trained on trellises and as bush vines. The grapes are hand-picked in 12-kilo crates and selected in the vineyard and on the sorting table.
The bunches are destemmed without crushing, followed by pre-fermentation maceration at 6 °C with dry ice. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts for 24 days at 16 °C, before the wine rests on its own lees in tank. Gentle filtration precedes bottling at the estate.
