"The 2021 La Vertical hails from Chantada in Ribeira Sacra. This is a blend of Godello, Palomino, Albariño and Doña Blanca aged in barrel. It opens with fennel, ripe fruit and subtle floral nuances, followed by a touch of tangerine. The palate is broad yet slightly malic and supple, resulting in an agile, flavorful expression. This is delicate yet energetic."
