Cesar Marquez Perez 'La Salvacion' Bierzo Godello 2024 750ml
SPAIN : CASTILLA Y LEON : BIERZO
ORGANIC : Godello
MED-FULL-BODIED, LEMON PEEL, STONE FRUIT, MINERAL, BRINY, USED FRENCH OAK
Stately, expressive and age-worthy: César Márquez harnesses 100% Godello from centenarian vineyards planted in 1918 across three distinct plots in Bierzo — the 9th-generation viticulturist trained under his uncle Raúl Pérez, one of Bierzo's most celebrated names.
WINEMAKING : Fruit is hand harvested and undergoes 24 hours of cold maceration after destemming and pressing; fermentation occurs in barrel without batonnage, temperature control, or added yeasts; wine is aged 11 months completely untouched in used 500L French oak barrels under a layer of flor — responsible for the subtle touch of toasty, oxidative notes.
PAIRINGS :
| Stinky Grilled Cheese Sandwich | the wine's mineral salinity and oxidative grip cut straight through the funk |
| Salt cod croquettes | brine and stone fruit mirror the cure |
| White asparagus with romesco | herbal notes and the flor-lifted finish play off the vegetal sweetness |
