ABOUT THIS WINE

This unique terroir, combined with the Atlantic-influenced continental climate, yields a wine of exceptional structure, minerality, and varietal expression.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for 200 Cestos emphasizes precision and lees contact. Grapes are hand-harvested from selected old-vine plots. After gentle pressing, the must undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Following fermentation, the wine is aged on its fine lees for several months with regular battonage (lees stirring). This technique enhances the wine's creamy texture, complexity, and aging potential while preserving the vibrant, mineral-driven character of the Godello grape.
