Several small parcels owned by Rafa with an average vine age of 25 years. Mostly Godello but a small mix of other white varieties. All the parcels are around the municpality of "O Bolo" giving the wine its name. The smaller villages where the vines are located are Chandoiro, Lentellais and Santa Cruz do Bolo. The soils are a mix of granitic sands. All work is done by hand and practicing organics and biodynamics. The must is fermented in foudres (35 hl) of Normand French oak. The wine ages on the fine lees in foudre for 4 months before bottling.
