LA PADORNIÑA, GODELLO SOBRE LIAS, ECOLÓGICO   PRODUCTION: 6,000 bottles   VINEYARD CHARACTERISTICS   Topography: slopes with clay soils Orientation: southwest Altitude: 550 m Climate: microclimate, with continental and Atlantic influences. Age of the vines: 22 years old     PRODUCT DESCRIPTION   La Padroniña Godello Sobre Lias: made with grapes from our La Padorniña vineyard in Villafranca del Bierzo, harvested only at the coolest times of day. Once the grapes reach the winery they are macerated for several hours until the must has been extracted without pressing. The must then undergoes alcoholic fermentation at a controlled temperature and the resulting wine is aged for eight months on its fine lees. Once bottled, it rests for 12 months in the cellar.   TASTING NOTE:   Vino de Paraje La Padorniña Godello Sobre Lias is a good-looking wine, bright yellow in colour with hints of gold, an intense nose with a great variety of fruit, notably Reineta apple, pear and a wide range of citrus fruits. On the palate it is fine, elegant, unctuous and persistent, with clear notes of stone fruit.  

Tenoira is a family winery in the heart of El Bierzo. In 1994, motivated by the conviction that El Bierzo has unique natural characteristics for vine-growing, they bought an old, completely abandoned vineyard. This was transformed into a grazing area and for six years it was used as a free pasture for their cows, so that cattle farming, to which they had devoted their whole lives, could be added to the project.   Tenoira brand wines are made with quality grapes from its 23 hectares of vineyards growing the Mencía and Godello varieties. The vines are between 22 and 60 years old and the wines are produced with maximum control of all production phases, applying new viticulture techniques. The greatest possible respect is shown to the environment and the excellent properties of the grape varieties  from a single 18-hectare plot called Paraje de La Padorniña.
