The Telmo RodrÃguez Falcoeira Branco is a great white wine from the new vineyards they had planted in the Falcoeira, one of the most famous places in Valdeorras that were lost. The 2019 Falcoeira Branco was produced with grapes from a 0.45 hectare vine of the lower terraces on granite soils. It is a blend of Godello, Doña Branca, Palomino and other grapes that reached 13.5% alcohol and maintained a pH of 3.29 after fermentation and aging in 225 and 500 liter oak barrels for 10 months. This wine used to contribute to the Branco de Santa Cruz, but always had a distinct personality; and in 2019 Telmo found it (only) good enough to be bottled separately. It has a complex but subtle nose, with very good depth, very structured and with a stronger salty note in the aftertaste. It is elegantly nuanced, classic, more in the style of a Meursault, with granite minerality. Only 951 bottles have been bottled and with its debut it gets 95/100 Parker & 96/100 Suckling.
