La Perdida - Nacho Gonzalez
GALICIA
At the northwest end of the Iberian Peninsula, Galicia is best known for its white wines, which are said to be crisp and light, often plain and usually made in the conventional way. In this context, Nacho Gonzalez has put all of his convictions into the defense of his terroir, worked without chemicals, and of the old vines of the native grape varieties of his region of Valdeorras, in order to produce totally natural wines.
Originally from Larouco, in the Valdeorras region in Galicia (province of Ourense), and a biologist by training, Nacho Gonzalez embarked on viticulture in 2011 by recuperating some abandoned family vines. He soon expanded the domain by adding plots of other old vines of local grape varieties - 3 hectares in all - all trained as bush vines. Bringing life back to often abused soils, favouring old vines of native grape varieties - Godello (sometimes called verdello) and Doña Blanca, in particular -, using only plant-based treatments, vinifying without oenological inputs in the least interventionist way possible, with a predilection for clay amphorae ("tinajas"): such is the uncompromising approach of the La Perdida estate, entirely focused on absolute respect for nature and the production of natural wines.
