## About this wine

Bodegas Emilio Moro, a historic winemaking family with over a century of tradition in Ribera del Duero, expanded into D.O. Bierzo to produce white wines from native Godello grapes. First launched in 2019, Polvorete is the youngest and most approachable expression in their Bierzo lineup. Sourced from flat vineyard plots in Ponferrada, the wine highlights the vibrant, unadorned profile of the grape. The colorful label, created with artist Domingo Zapata, honors the local people of Bierzo.

## Wine making process

Polvorete is produced from 100% Godello grapes grown on flat vineyard plots in El Bierzo featuring fertile soils with cool moisture retention. Fermentation is conducted in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve primary fruit aromas and crisp natural acidity. Following fermentation, the wine remains on fine lees in stainless steel for four months prior to bottling, adding textural smoothness while avoiding oak influence.
