El Zarzal Godello

After years in Ribera del Duero, in 2013 the Moro family fell in love with the Godello variety and the region of El Bierzo. Three years later, in 2016, Bodegas Emilio Moro settled in El Bierzo determined to popularize the Godello variety and firmly commit to a winegrowing region that was in a state of growth. Today, the project boasts 3 leading wines on the market and 60 hectares of dedicated vineyards. The Bierzo region is characterized by its terraces and their steepness and varying altitude, which ranges from 450 to 1,000 meters above sea level. These characteristics all give rise to the aromatic profile and peculiarities of the Godello grape. The upper part of the mountain is pure granite, and the entire lower level is the result of an accumulation of sedimentary layers with a lot of diversity. Within the parcels it is very characteristic to find the presence of coarse elements, mainly of granitic origin, and some slate. These pieces fall and accumulate over millions of years, resulting in the soils of El Bierzo.
