Wine Review: This pale straw colored Godello opens with a fragrant and appealing ginger ale and lemon verbena bouquet. On the palate, this wine is full bodied and slightly acidic. Yet is has a round and plush mouthfeel. The flavor profile is a flinty mineral and mild lime blend with notes of saline and green apple. I also detected hints of chamomile tea and a touch of grapefruit pith towards the end. The finish is dry and lingers nicely. This wine was built for oysters on the half shell. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: 100% Godello from rare old bush-pruned vines on steep slate slopes. Partially fermented in French oak, with the remainder in stainless steel with 6 months of lees contact. Intense ripe floral/citric nose, dense and persistent structure on the palate, lingering mineral finish.
