Before fermentation it is macerated for several hours at low temperature, then fermented at controlled temperature and left for two months on its fine lees. (ABV 13%). All grapes come from our own vineyards, which are cultivated using organic farming techniques.   TASTING NOTE:   Tenoira Godello Ecológico is a good-looking wine, bright yellow in colour with hints of gold, an intense nose with a great variety of fruit, notably apple, pear and a wide range of citrus fruits stand out. On the palate it is fine, elegant 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.
