While Albariño often steals the spotlight in this part of the world, the Godello grape is a brilliant hidden gem that is rapidly gaining a massive following for its unique character. Grown on steep, high-altitude terraces, this wine captures the rugged nature of its landscape perfectly. The aroma is incredibly inviting, offering bright notes of freshly cut grapefruit, crunchy green apple, and a delicate hint of wild fennel and mountain herbs. It is the texture of this wine which truly sets it apart. It is fermented in large, traditional wooden barrels, a method that does not add heavy oak flavours, but instead gives the wine a lovely, rounded richness. This smooth weight perfectly balances the mouth-watering citrus freshness, leading to a clean, crisp finish with a subtle, stony edge. Thanks to its brilliant mix of crisp energy and smooth texture, this Godello is incredibly versatile for dining. It serves as a fantastic companion to a classic Sunday roast chicken, a simple piece of pan-fried cod with buttery new potatoes, or a hearty creamy leek and mushroom pie.

The estate-owned vineyards are in the eastern part of Bierzo planted on schist and clay soils with vines averaging 30-35 years old. Harvest here takes place a full 20 days later than in Valtuille, yielding grapes with high natural acidity and providing excellent blending material. Grapes are purchased from Cacabelos which is located on deeper clay-stony soils and from Valtuille where the vineyards have a higher percentage of sand. All plots are fermented in oak tank and assembled just before bottling. Ageing takes place in barrels of various sizes and ages. The estate owned fruit is aged in the Ultreia cellar where a small layer of flor is allowed to develop. Bottling takes place after 12 months with no racking or battonage. This is a fresh, well balanced expression of Godello with ripe citrus, red apples and blossom notes. The palate is vibrant and fresh with an explosion of fruit flavours.

O Rosal is the most southerly sub-region of the Rías Baixas, situated on the north bank of the river Miño, which marks the border with Portugal's Vinho Verde. Here the vineyards benefit from cooling Atlantic breezes and the moderating influence and increased airflow from the river. Loureiro, a variety prized for its aromatic flavour profile, performs particularly well here and wines labelled ‘O Rosal’ must include this grape in the blend, something which distinguishes them from the majority of Rías Baixas wines which are 100% Albariño. Each grape variety is vinified separately and, after a short period of lees ageing, the blend was carefully assembled to produce the distinctive Santiago Ruiz style. Bright yellow in colour. On the nose, intense aromas of crisp apple, pear, lime blossom and lemon verbena are married with subtle herbal notes. On the palate, the precise and concentrated flavours are complemented by a stony minerality and balanced by a vibrant acidity, resulting in a crisp and clean finish. The distinctive label is a hand-drawn map of the region, drawn by Santiago’s daughter to guide guests travelling to her wedding which took place at the winery.
