Watery to pale straw, subdued on the nose, complex on the palate. Leesy, white pear, ripe citrus, clay and rock. Elevated acidity and phenolics.

2015 Viña Godeval Cepas Vellas. A consistently outstanding Godello. This is the third vintage I've tasted. Opens with a cool green tea note, accompanying aromas of passion fruit, apple, jasmine, brioche and lemon curd. The palate is plush, yet bright and lively. Flavors of ripe lemon, lime, and golden apple, with flinty, mineral notes tumbling across the palate. Perfect balance, very long finish. Yet another example of the excellent 2015 vintage.

Crisp but not searing acid. Nice minerality. Tied together by apple, pear, and a touch of floral honey. Nice! Another @Spinning_spins winner. Thanks!

Oro pajizo, presenta sedimento, en nariz muy buena potencia, manzana, membrillo, fondo floral, mantequilla y pan tostado. En boca buena entrada, paso elegante, frutal y denso, final potente, mineral .... Para seguirlo, buen vino.

Good acidity, dry, decent structure. Paired well with Chilean sea bass in one star Michelin Chinese restaurant in London called Kai.

50yr old vines on slate give this rich but steely Godello a flinty edge. Orchard fruits and herbs read pleasantly green. Like a fleshy Chablis. #swc #valkyrieselections

Fruktig och smakrik. Äpplen, ananas, citronzest och päron. Medelfyllig och rivig textur.
