Description

"A limpid, simple godello with some seashells, green apples and lime. The palate has fresh acidity, medium intensity and a saline touch to the end. Drink now."
90 points. James Suckling, jamessuckling.com (August 2024)

La Sonrisa, or 'The Smile' is a wine that's primary purpose is to be enjoyed with friends, food and ultimately put a smile on the face of the person drinking it.

It shines brightly with all the most characteristic aromas of the variety Godello, jubilant youthful aromas of citrus, green apple, and stone fruit. The palate is refreshing with brisk acidity, moderate alcohol, soft texture, and a long refreshing finish.

It is perfect to enjoy it with light and medium-bodied dishes like snacks, tapas, baked fish, pasta, and paella. Serve around 10-11°C, but never too chilled.

Dominio de Tares

Since 2000, Bodegas Dominio de Tares has been extracting the essence of the Mencía, Godello and Prieto Picudo grape varieties in the Bierzo DO and the Castile and León VT. These areas of north-western Spain have a long tradition of winemaking that has been recovered today to produce unique wines of globally recognised quality. Dominio de Tares became the leader of El Bierzo’s wine resurgence by recovering the best old vineyards and pioneering the production of wines for laying down.

Castilla Y Leon

Castilla y León, located in north-central Spain, is a prominent wine region known for its rich history and diverse wine offerings. It benefits from a continental climate with hot summers and cold winters, which, along with varied soil types, creates ideal conditions for viticulture.
The area is especially renowned for its robust reds, particularly those made from Tempranillo and Garnacha, which produce complex wines with rich fruit flavours and notable aging potential. It is also known for its whites, including those from Verdejo and Godello, offering fresh, aromatic profiles with crisp acidity.
Historically, Castilla y León has been a significant wine-producing area since ancient times, with a rich heritage that includes the renowned Ribera del Duero and Rueda DOs.
