Rafael Palacios is a leading voice in modern Spanish white wine, best known for revealing the depth of Godello in Galicia. Louro do Bolo comes from estate and sourced vineyards around O Bolo in Valdeorras, planted on a mix of granite and slate soils at elevation. Farming is attentive and sustainable, and cellar work is restrained, designed to highlight freshness and texture.
The 2023 vintage is focused, showing citrus peel, green apple, and pear layered with subtle stone fruit and a fine mineral edge. The palate is clean and energetic, driven by bright acidity and a lightly textured mouthfeel that adds depth without weight. The finish is crisp and precise, making this a versatile, food-friendly white that captures the clarity and tension Godello can deliver in Valdeorras.
Varietal: Godello
Appellation: Valdeorras, Galicia, Spain
