The 2023 Regueirón was still unbottled, but I tasted the final blend from foudre, ready to be bottled in August. It's their single-vineyard Godello from the village of Éntoma on slate and schist soils. The grapes were picked September 10, just before the rain, and the must fermented and matured in 500-liter oak barrels, one new and two used; then they blended the juice and put it into a 2,000-liter foudre for two months. It has 13.5% alcohol with a pH of 2.9 and 7.2 grams of acidity. This is still very young, undeveloped and somewhat marked by the oak. It's more Burgundian, with a fine texture, contained ripeness and subtle minerality, with a chalky and tasty finish. This should age nicely in bottle. They expect some 2,500 bottles and 60 magnums.
Purchased by CVNE from Rioja, this property in Valdeorras has constantly been expanded and refurbished and the wines fine-tuned. They recovered some old plots in the zone of As Ermitas with Merenzao (Trousseau) and Brancellao grapes; the winery was extended, and they introduced ceramic and concrete vessels and 1,200- and 4,000-liter oak vats. Total production is 117,000 bottles—72,000 of white and 45,000 of red. Most of the wines tasted were from 2023, with one each from 2022 and 2021. 2023 was the earliest harvest in Valdeorras, starting in August after a rainy spring and a warm and dry summer. Alcohol levels were higher, but the pH and acidity was better because yields were 15% lower than in 2022. They consider 2023 a very good vintage for them there.
