Wine Review: This pale white gold colored Godello from Reboreda opens with wet stone and grapefruit pith bouquet with hints of almond and lemon zest. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium-plus zesty acidity. The flavor profile is a lime and Granny Smith apple blend with notes of honeydew melon and nicely integrated fine minerality. I also detected a hint of yellow grapefruit and touch of vanilla at the very end. The finish is dry and its flavors and acidity are nicely prolonged. I would pair this very good value Godello with fried calamari with a lime aioli or cilantro lime shrimp tacos. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Produced from 40-year-old Godello vines located on the mid-slope of the family estate Finca Reboreda. This vine block is known as "A Telleira" in homage to its location near the former grounds of a traditional clay tile facility. Bright and concentrated with pronounced minerality, this Godello is a full and dry yet refreshing example of this noble Iberian white variety.
