Godello is one of those varietals that has a lot of street cred among wine geeks, and with its ability to communicate its place of origin in addition to beautiful fruit, many Spanish vintners believe this may be the grape that puts Spanish whites on the map.
It all starts with the intense aromas - similar to Albarino with is explosion of apricot and peach notes, but there's also a floral spiciness, freesia, that adds an extra dimension. The wine is aged on the lees... don't worry if you don't know what that means... it means the wine has a rich, rounded mouthfeel that compliments the vibrant acidity. As the importer says, "Its full-bodied creaminess makes it a delight for the taste buds, while its crispness makes it easy drinking." Best of both worlds! The wine is fleshed out with rich, round tropical melon and ripe apricot fruits on top of juicy lime flavors. There’s also anise, fresh herb, and a saline mineral quality running throughout.
Wine Advocate: 93 Points
They kept separate the Godello that was blended before, and they liked it so much that they decided to bottle it and release it as 2022 X Godello. It was produced with grapes from a one-hectare plot from their vineyard O Taboleiro, which was planted in 2008 on granite sandy soils that keep the acidity. It has good ripeness and development of aromas and flavors, 13% alcohol and very good freshness (pH 3.1). I was very pleasantly surprised. The wine is elegant, serious and balanced, with austerity in the palate, very precise and detailed. 2,000 bottles were produced. It was bottled unoaked in May 2023.
