Valdeorras Old Vines Godello
90 year old vines cut from 300 year old vines planted by Spanish monks. Slate soils provide great minerality...the rest of the palate is lemon curd, honeysuckle and tropical fruit. 👌

Mar 21st, 2017One of my favorites. Lots of character. Takes oak well. Somehow crisp and round and sweet at the same time.

May 7th, 2018First time trying this grape Godello. Sorta like a Dry River Pinot Gris or a chenin. Aromatics / might marry well with Thai cuisine

Apr 23rd, 2018Have you heard Billie Holidays song Strange Fruit? This song describes my cup of Godello. It’s a perfect combination of papaya and honey.

Feb 20th, 2018Don’t understand the sweet comments. It’s not. Kinda what I want a mid priced chard to drink like, but they rarely do. Acidic. Some buttery touches but not too much. Nice easy drink.
