Rafael Palacios Louro do Bolo 2022
Rafael Palacios the maker of this wine comes from something of a winemaking dynasty. His father, uncle and brother are all highly regarded winemakers across Rioja, Priorat and other parts of Spain. Rafael started this project in 2004 in the then little-known region of Valdeorras, home of a few ancient plots of Godello vines. This grape variety was virtually extinct in Spain but Rafa and a few others realised its potential and extensive replanting of the variety began. The Louro is crafted from younger vines but is selected from plots that produce more age-worthy wines. It’s a balancing act between the minerality and richness of the grape. Pair with baked whitefish, poultry, and roasted veg.
