Tasting notes
The white 2022 La Vizcaína La del Vivo comes from vines they own, all fermented without temperature control and never racked. It has a serious and austere nose that makes me think of a cooler year. There is good ripeness, and the wine achieved 13.5% alcohol but has very good freshness and acidity. It has notes of white flowers, fruit, spices and herbs and is complex, nuanced and elegant. It has a chalky palate with very fresh and clean flavors. It matured in 1,000-, 1,500- and 4,000-liter oak vats. Some 10,000 bottles produced.

The 2022 Godello La Vizcaína La del Vivo from Lomas de Valtuille, Bierzo, is 95% Godello and 5% Doña Blanca, aged one year in amphorae and then in barrels and foudres . The 2022 is fragrant with white flowers, pear and herbal notes. It is creamy, medium-bodied, delicate and fresh. Balanced at 12.5%, it avoids weakness while highlighting textural richness from amphora aging and vibrant acidity.
