César Márquez, Godello La Salvación 2023

Why we love this bottle

César Márquez comes from a wine family that has been making wine in Bierzo since the eighteenth century. He learned his trade for seven years with his uncle Raúl Pérez, one of the men who made Bierzo famous worldwide. We love it because he saves what others would pull out.

In the old vineyards of Bierzo, Godello grew in between the red grapes, but nobody paid attention to it anymore. César wanted to rescue those forgotten vines of around a hundred years old. Hence the name La Salvación, the rescue. He presses the grapes straight away and lets the wine rest a year in large wooden casks. Pear, lemon and a hint of anise. Full and creamy, but fresh as well. A white to enjoy slowly.
