About Verónica Ortega La Llorona

According to Hispanic tradition, La Llorona was a woman who, after being abandoned by her partner (a Spanish soldier), murdered her children by drowning them in an attempt to erase any memory of her former love. As punishment, the woman's spirit roams the world of the living, grieving and lamenting the crime committed.

We cannot be certain if the winemaker Verónica Ortega drew inspiration from this figure to name her wine. As long as it comes in a bottle, it is never a problem to encounter this Llorona in Verónica Ortega La Llorona, a white wine of the godello variety, with malolactic fermentation and barrel aging, crafted by Verónica Ortega in Castilla y León (Spain), under the DO Bierzo.

The origin of Verónica Ortega La Llorona can be traced to Pieros, a small hamlet of Cacabelos, in the province of León, at about 500 metres above sea level. There, on its sandy soils, lie the over 35-year-old godello grape vines that the winemaker, originally from Cádiz and settled in the area for several years, has chosen as the starting point for this wine.

In the winery, before fermentation, Verónica Ortega La Llorona undergoes maceration for one day (at a low temperature), which helps to extract the characteristic aromas of this variety. After this, 80% ferments in oak barrels, while the remaining 20% does so in steel tanks.

Finally, the spontaneous malolactic fermentation and several months of barrel aging transform Verónica Ortega La Llorona into an ideal wine for rediscovering this typical Bierzo grape.
