Gaba do Xil Valdeorras Godello
Valdeorras, Galicia, Spain
Tasted '14/'15 side by side. Made from 100% Godello grown in shallow, stony granite soils. These grainy soils have low water retention, forcing the vines to struggle and limiting yields. Late ripening crop reveals a fuller body wine. Big fruit & floral nose with flinty notes. The palate reveals white flesh fruits, somewhat racy requiring some aeration to calm down. Full acidity on medium finish ending with mineral tones. This is a wine you could age a bit.
