Light yellow in color, sparkling. Beautiful combination of citrus and yellow fruit on the nose, light touch of wood, coating in the mouth, spicy, slightly salty, elegant and complex. Totally balanced and long finish. A gastronomic glass of wine.
Louro Do Bolo
Classification: DO Valdeorras
Color: Full-bodied white wine
Country: Spain
Region: Galicia
Producer: Rafael Palacios, Ourense
Grape varieties: Godello 96%, Treixadura 4%
Winemaking: The specially selected grapes are harvested by hand. After cold maceration, pressing follows, débourbage of the must, and fermentation in large 30 hl wooden foudres from the Calvados region. After fermentation, the wine matures for 4 to 5 months on the lees with limited bâtonnage. No malo. After clarification, bottling follows. The treixadura is blended with the godello before bottling and gives the Louro do Bolo some extra freshness.
Producer information: Rafael Palacios is the youngest of nine children and grew up in Alfaro in Rioja Oriental (Baja). At the family business, he raised the level of the white wines and around 2004 decided it was time to step out of the shadow of his famous brother Álvaro and start his own company in Valdeorras. Godello has won his heart and Rafael has created a model company with 26 ha of vineyard, high up in the Bibei valley. In addition, he controls and contracts just under 10 ha and has recently planted new vineyards. Vineyards from 18 to 35 years old such as Chandoiro, Lentellais, and Santa Cruz do Bolo are located at over 600 meters altitude in the surroundings of O Bolo. The soils here consist of sand and granite. Low yields of max 45 hl/ha for the Louro to 25 hl/ha for the As Sortes. Planting density on the beautifully laid out terraces is 6,500 to 9,000 vines per ha. As Sortes is a wine from six plots of 50 to 60-year-old vines (Os Caneiros, A Coalleira, Souto dos Santos, Alexos, Val de Anta, O Castiñeiro: totaling 4.2 ha) from Santa Cruz do Bolo, at 680 meters altitude with a more northern exposure, all in the Val do Bibei, that is, the valley of the Bibei river. O Soro (0.5 ha) is a vineyard planted in 1978 at 710 meters altitude with a southwest exposure. Biodynamic cultivation here and certified in 2021.
Area information: The Valdeorras area (valley of goud) is located in the eastern part of Galicia, in the far northwest of Spain. The area, with nearly 1,200 hectares of vineyards, lies east of the city of Ourense/Orense, bordered to the west by Ribeira Sacra and to the east by Bierzo, which belongs to Castilla y León. Vineyards are often situated on terraces along rivers such as the Sil, Xares, and Bibei. Slightly more white than red wine is produced here. In terms of quality, godello is king here, while mencía generally plays a less important role. Other varieties include treixadura, loureira, doña blanca, palomino, and among reds, merenzao, garnacha, brancellao, etc. Godello is subject to a lower yield per hectare than the other white varieties. The climate is continental/mediterranean with less oceanic influence than in other parts of Galicia. The soils in Valdeorras contain slate and stones, or granite and sand, and soils with more sediment and stones. Precipitation ranges between 850 and 1,100 mm per year, so less than on the coast in Rías Baixas. The area has over 1,450 winegrowers and 44 wineries. Pruning is both traditional and vaso (gobelet) as well as trained.
Serve with: Fish dishes, shellfish and crustaceans, light white meats and poultry, sweetbreads, tapas, pasta and rice dishes, Asian/Arabian flavors, vegetable dishes such as asparagus, salads.
Serving temperature: 8 to 10ºC
Other information: The godello grape is considered one of the best white grape varieties in Spain and Portugal, where it is called gouveio (real) in the Douro. In the Dão it is called verdelho (a different variety than the verdelho from Madeira) and again in Spain in (Tierra de) León it is called prieto picudo blanco. Its origin is therefore probably from the Río Sil in Galicia.

Had great experience with the sousbox. Especially recommended for a romantic successful home evening with the two of you. Candles on, music in the background and in turn, or cozy together, making the dishes and eating. Nice wine. Delicious no hurry, and top quality eat. What else do you want? What weakened love blooms again. An absolute must!
Sous is actually a culinary experience at home! Whether you want to dine extensively (while the children are in bed and you don't have to arrange a babysitter) or if you want to put a whole table full of tasty snacks in no time, because with Sous everyone can do it! It starts with the good service at the door, to the handwritten card that you receive during the holidays. And don't forget the tasty food of course;) This means that we have been a customer of Sous for years and we hope to be able to enjoy this for a long time.
Ordered a box for the second time and enjoyed it again! The delivery is super, very well packaged and what delicious dishes! It is already a party to draw up the signs according to the supplied guidelines. And then to have a star meal in your own house. We will do this much more often, a big 10!
So easy. Delicious food without worries. With Christmas, no shopping lists, not in line in the stores, no stress in the kitchen. Pure luxury. If you are (already a bit older) opposite to invite people, just order a delicious meal at Sous, then you can also enjoy the food and the fun. Several times, ordered different meals and every time it was perfect!
We had much to celebrate with our family. Above all, life; After a nasty disease that has left my body. And the happiness of a brand new bridal couple whose wedding we had missed because I am not allowed to fly after an operation. The World of Streetfood combines perfectly with the vegetarian variant. We sat at the table with each other a wonderful afternoon. The dishes were put together by changing chefs. It was a relaxed and delicious experience.

“A delightful experience, enjoyed an exquisite meal. Neatly packaged, clearly described what you need to do to REALLY enjoy it. What a wonderful formula!”
“We ordered sous for our anniversary dinner. Since we have two children under three, it is not always possible to arrange a good night out. This way we could enjoy fine cuisine at home while the two little troublemakers slept peacefully. Delivery was smooth, preparation was easy, and tasting was ecstatic!”
“Perfect, every box is unique. We ordered for the first time during the pandemic and many times since then. Also, quite a few times as a gift for my friends—a perfect surprise on their doorstep! The refrigerated delivery service is the best! Would recommend 100%”
“Besides the great concept, diverse choice, and outstanding performance, communicating with sous was next level. Customer experience first. Very, very happy, and before I forget, the food is delicious!”
“Both boxes (Ron's Rames and Thai Boat) complemented each other perfectly in terms of flavors and presentation! We'll definitely be doing this again!”
“Delicious menu! Tasty and easy to prepare. You have to provide a nice ambiance yourself (nice plates, candles, music). If you create this romantic setting it will be a true 'night out'. Of course you have to go into the kitchen yourself to do the minimum of preparation, but it is also nice that you can make these beautiful creations on the plate yourself. Recommended!”
“The menu selection and delivery went very smoothly! A great way to have a lovely dinner at home with your guests, without being in the kitchen all the time. So all the time for catching up and enjoying great amazing food. Definitely something to do more often and try out the various restaurants.”
“I received this Surprise Restaurant Dinner meal prepared by Ron, the day before my birthday, from my sister-in-law who lives in Spain. I say Surprise Restaurant Dinner, because that's the ultimate experience I got after I unpacked the box, heated it according to the simple instructions and then enjoyed it with my husband of 48 years. The guy who had delivered it had given me a warm smile and said: enjoy it. ”
“We are huge fans of sous; as date nights out of the house with a baby aren't always that easy, we often have date nights at home with a sous box. This last time we had the Dijk 9 Autumn Menu, and of all the sous boxes we've ordered over the past few years, this was absolutely the best!”
“The information on the site matches reality. Ordering is simple. Delivery is easy to track online and always on time. And the quality of the food is always a reason to be happy. For us, there's no need to get in the car and drive to a restaurant anymore. And nobody has to be the designated driver anymore.”
“It was delicious. Both the Indonesian rice table and the Chinese shared dining meat dishes were tasty. In December, we're going for the Dick Middelweerd menu. I think this is a great formula. I'm going to use it more often.”
