The 2020 Rafael Palacios Sorte O Soro is an extraordinary white wine, hailed as "truly world-class" and considered the finest wine Rafael Palacios has produced to date. This vintage achieved a perfect 100 points from Luis Gutiérrez of Wine Advocate, making it one of only three Spanish white wines to ever receive this coveted score. Production was extremely limited, with only 1,910 bottles filled in July 2021. Crafted from 40-year-old Godello vines in the biodynamically farmed Bibei Valley of Valdeorras DO, at an altitude of 720 meters, the wine underwent seven months of élevage on its lees in 500-liter French oak barrels. Tasting notes reveal a very balanced wine with vibrant acidity and a pH of 3.06. Aromas include a smoky scent, white flowers, and a beautiful citrus touch reminiscent of pink grapefruit peel, coupled with magnolia. It presents a unique character, feeling both Burgundian and distinctly Galician. The palate is fresh, saline, vertical, and electric, with pungency, a long, vibrant finish, and is described as unique, symmetrical, pure, crystalline, and elegant à la Roulot. Further notes include oak, vanilla, butter, minerals, honey, stone, and green pear. 🍴 Ideal food pairings include shellfish, crab, and lobster, as well as poultry and rich fish like salmon or tuna. 🥂 This exceptional, world-class white wine is perfect for celebratory meals, fine dining experiences, or as a prestigious gift for a discerning wine connoisseur. Its elegance and complexity make it suitable for significant anniversaries or achievements. 【 100 Robert Parker points, truly world-class and extremely limited production 】
