Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

RP 95
"The 2022 As Sortes feels very young and a little raw and undeveloped, with great freshness. Despite being a very warm summer, they had rain (20+ liters) that was absorbed by the grapes, which made a delicate wine, much fresher than expected. Of course, the high altitude of the vines and the late ripeness and harvest here also have to do with the fresh character of the wine, which transcends the character of the year. I'd wait a little to pull the cork."

What importer Polaner Selections has to say about this wine...

Vineyard
The vineyards used for As Sortes are 6 microsites all planted in the 1970s and purchased by Rafa between 2004-2007. They are located on the north side of the Bibei Valley in Santa Cruz do Bolo. There is a mix of Godello clones here that survived phylloxera and which have been brought back to productivity.
Soil
Granitic sands very poor in nutrients.
Viticulture
All work is done by hand respecting tradition and using organic treatments and following the biodynamic calendar.
Vinification
The must is fermented in 500 liter French oak barrels.
Aging
Aged in 500 liter barrels for 8 months.
