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.

Wow! Rich, round, tropical fruits, lemon zest, flowers, lemon custard, great salinity, almonds, a wonderful creaminess that is not oak..salty sea spray..graphite..mostly for 14.2 alc. It is nowhere! Really delicious!

Delicious. Crisp, tart with a hint of sweetness on the finish. Enjoyed with Salade Nicoise.

100% Godello from vineyards on sandy granite soils at considerate altitude (600m/1900ft). Fermented and aged for 4 months in 3,000 liter foudres. Very fresh, mineral, zesty acidity. Citrus (lemon) on the palate. Long salty finish.

Zippy acid, better with food than on its own and when I say better I mean much! Had this with some Chinese food and boy did it cut through perfectly.
