Ana Gadín and Javier Mendoza set up Atrium Vitis back in 2012 right in Quiroga (one of the breathtaking bits of Ribeira Sacra). They own 12 plots (a total of 6ha), dedicated mainly to indigenous Galician grape varieties, which they vinify separately, plot by plot, thus preserving the essence of each vineyard. Ana and Javier have also discovered abandoned vines, hidden deep within the local overgrown forest. They are currently clearing part of this area by hand, to recover these old vines and to identify the grape varieties.

 

This Mimosa is truly unique and special. It comes from a single plot of old vines (60 to 70 years) of Godello, growing over clay (which will give the wines a bit more shoulders). It grows on altitude, thus being able to preserve an incredibly vital backbone.  This Godello might be a bit more terpenic (quinces, mirabelles, elderflower, peaches) than you might expect from the varietal as it spent 24 hours of pre-fermentative maceration on its skins. After, it aged for 6 months in oak. Probably, the most unique Godello we've tasted in a while. A must to try.

 

Only 650 bottles are crafted yearly. All of them are hand painted by Ana.
