What a rich, beautiful white from Galicia in the northwestern corner of Spain. It’s got everything going for it ― definition, minerality, good acidity and a touch of oak. Complex? This bottle could hold its own against a Meursault or a top California Chardonnay.
The grape is Godello, and the grapes come from two old vineyards, 70 and 85 years old respectively. The winery is a project of the Gil family of Jumila, Bodegas Godeval and Spanish wine importer Jorge Ordonez, who, more and more, is getting into making wine.
