O LUAR DO SIL VIDES DE CÓRGOMO 
A wine with a greenish golden colour, with an abundant formation of tear drops. With the intense aromas you would
expect from the good development of a Godello, strong tones of dried apricot, with patisserie notes provided by the
lees, yellow flowers, herbal balsamic nuances and a clear mineral character from the slate soils. Vibrant and powerful
in the mouth, combined with elegant toasted tones and oriental woods, endowed with great length and personality,
ending with an explosion of subtle aromas.
