Vinos de Arganza Flavium Godello Doña Blanca [2020] 750ml, white

We value tradition and terroir while incorporating the latest technology to create wines with outstanding value for money.

This is a family-run winery founded by current owner Victor Lobra. Victor is originally from Barcelona and spent many years making wine in Rioja. His wife comes from an important aristocratic family in Villafranca del Bierzo, and the family has owned large vineyards and wineries since the 15th century. Taking advantage of his experience, Victor moved to Bierzo, where his wife's parents live, in 2000, and has been producing wines of reasonable quality and high quality.

Bierzo has different altitudes between flatlands and hills, and the taste of the wine produced differs greatly. The flat land has clayey soil mixed with pebbles, giving it a voluminous and powerful flavor. The highlands have slate, clay-calcareous soils, which give the wine an elegant taste with a hint of minerality. Vinos de Arganza has 50ha of its own fields, and a total of 110ha including contracted fields. Small plot ownership (minifundio) is typical of this region, but the grapes from our own fields play a very important role in maintaining the same quality year after year. The vines are 90% Mencia, the oldest vines are 80 to 100 years old, and some are pre-phylloxera. 10% grows Godello and Doña Blanca.

All grapes are harvested by hand for quality control. After the grapes are sorted in the field, they are sorted again at the winery and fermented in stainless steel tanks. The cellar contains approximately 2,000 barrels of French and American oak, and the traditional style is aged for approximately 9 to 12 months, while the slightly softer style is aged for approximately 3 to 6 months. New barrels are not used to prevent the overly strong barrel nuances. Flavium Premium is 100% Mensia from old trees that are 80 to 90 years old. Barrel aging takes a long time, from December to August, but new barrels are not used and the wine is made with an emphasis on fruit flavor. It has an easy-drinking, high-quality flavor due to long-term barrel aging, but there are no hints of oxidation. As the name suggests, it is one of the best value for this price. The total staff is five people, including the cultivation staff and Enorogo, and the philosophy is to keep costs down and produce wine with high cost performance. We are an ``honest'' producer in all aspects of winemaking, including the personality of the owner and staff.

A fresh white wine with tropical fruit aromas, structure, and a good balance of acidity and fruit thickness.
