God damn Godello is so delicious, every time too. Ripe peach, blossoms, and a kiss of melon mix it up with salty rocks, green almond, and waxy notes. Great weight with enough phenolic backbone to stand this wine up. 14% abv but drinks like cool spring water. Great value.

Jasmine and citrus up front, with some serious bitterness at the end...not unlike my week.

Wax beans, flowers, stone fruit, flint. I remember loving this wine back in roughly 2010, but it's had an interesting evolution.

Subtle and expressive with soft, buttery peach notes and good salinity. Nice wine.
