Algueira Cornamús 2023
Descripción
Cornamús es la cumbre de la expresión blanca de la Ribeira Sacra y la consolidación internacional de Algueira en el prestigioso mercado de La Place de Bordeaux. Nacido de viñedos de Godello cultivados en bancales de vértigo sobre suelos de gneis, cuarzo y granito en los cañones del Sil, este vino refleja el compromiso histórico de Fernando González y su hijo Fabio por dignificar la viticultura heroica gallega. Un blanco que cautiva por su perfil afilado, vibrante y salino, capaz de trascender el paisaje ribeirano para emocionar en las mejores mesas del mundo.

Opinión de los críticos
The nose offers dried apple, chalk and a touch of aniseed. The palate is velvety and ethereal, with incisive, well-integrated acidity that perfectly complements the wine’s texture. This comes from a high-altitude site in Castro Caldelas, Ribeira Sacra, from a parcel known as the Aviator Vineyard, named after one of the inventors of radar who once owned it. At 600 meters, it’s one of the highest vineyards in the region. One of the finest white expressions from Ribeira Sacra. Drink now or hold.
After the red Dolio, they produced a new white to be sold at La Place de Bordeaux, the 2023 Cornamús. It's a Godello, mostly from Aviador, a steep vineyard planted 20 years ago on gneiss, quartz and slate soils, and a small percentage of other grapes. It fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and matured in a 2,000-liter oak foudre with lees for 15 months. The vineyard is from a cooler, higher-altitude zone (500+ meters) close to Castro Caldelas, and it delivered a vibrant wine with 13.5% alcohol and a pH of 3.2 coupled with six grams of acidity. The nose is different from the other whites. The wine comes through as more nuanced and detailed and is fresh and sharper, with a vibrant palate. 3,050 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2025.
A new and interesting addition to La Place de Bordeaux this year. Super flowery aromatics with lemon juice and some white grapefruit. A slightly waxy, oily texture with some burnt caramel alongside peach and pear. Quite a savoury take with bright and zesty citrus elements alongside pronounced saltiness. Complex and enjoyable. Director Fabio González Pérez and winemaker Fernando González Riveiro.
