Louro Valdeorras Godello

This is a home run right out of the gate and just keeps soaring way beyond price point. Pear, peach, ginger, white flowers, hazelnuts, fresh butter, salt-preserved lemons. Quite complex. Salinity, floral aroma and freshness are reminiscent of Chablis. Mid palate is lithe yet richly textured, rounding out into a more tropical fruit dimension with extended aeration, showing more weight and viscosity. Outstanding depth and lift. Fabulous barrel-fermented Godello. Love it.

Godello slowly becoming my go to substitute for Chablis. Plenty of breadth and expanse on the palate, focused acid, expressive nose that is very alluring. There’s a lot of wine here for not a lot of money.

Nice phenolic bite, salivating acidity, crisp pommace fruit. Smoking value 🔥

Delicious. Tart, saline. Excellent with Paella.

17 fresh citrus nose. Very smooth, well made. Some oak but well integrated. Quite long.

Saline. Nice fruits. Excellent QPR. Tasty.

Nectar of one god.

Damn this is good.

Enjoyed this at dinner in Napa. Bright and tropical/stone fruits with nicely balanced acidity, good body, and a crisp finish.

Solid. Consistent.
