The 2019 La del Vivo is made from 95% Godello with a somewhat mysterious 5% ( mainly Dona Blanca, but Raúl Perez reveals that there is also Palomino and Trousseau too!)  from the tiny La Poulosa vineyard, which is planted on predominantly clay soils. The vineyard was planted in 1936, the grapes spontaneously fermented and then aged in 2,000 litre fudre and one 500 litre neutral French cask. Aromatically this is delight, a symphony of spring flowers and soft fruit, with notes of citric pith and honey reverberating on the palate and then a glorious softly spiced finish, with cleansing lemongrass. One of the world’s great Godellos, La del Vivo 2019 is completely beguiling.
