WINE MAKING PROCESS
Bodegas Mengoba's Las Botas 2017 is produced from 100% Godello grapes. The winemaking process involves careful vineyard management on old vines situated at high altitudes. Following an initial aging period of 12 months in oak foudre, the wine undergoes a further maturation of about ten months in used Sherry butts. This latter stage is a key technique that contributes significantly to the wine's distinctive profile. The producer, Gregory Pérez, adheres to sustainable viticulture and traditional winemaking methods.
