These Spanish whites are great, nose is packed with marsipan, the good oak notes of distinct ”bakelser” (sweets), and honey melon, papaya, and yellow citrus; medium acids and alcohol and yellow fruit that takes the marsipan and other nose flavours into a long satisfying finish.

As with ‘18 vintage, killer value. Rich, tropical fruit aromas preside with pineapple, key lime, grapefruit, and white flowers on the nose and palate. Good acid balance. A touch of bitter citrus zest and minerals on the finish.

Fragrant citrus fruits on the nose and on the palate, lemon and lime juice, savory and a bit of bread dough, slight bitterness on the finish. Nice m+ acidity on this one with good mouthfeel.

Glicera o y maduro en nariz, en boca interesante, mejor añada que las anteriores, quizás algo falto de acidez.

Ripe and rich. Tropical and leesy, but with stern, crisp acidity. Would love to sneak this into a flight/tasting of oaked Chard.

I love this Godello, foudre aged with a touch of Treixadura, enough brightness for ceviche and weighty fruit for gumbo.

Such a nice typical Godello from Rafael Palacio! Wonderful expression of this native grappe crafted by a good enologist!

Great texture. Ripe stone fruit, twist of citrus. Lingers nicely
