2021 Alvaredos-Hobbs Godello

2021 godello

One of the oldest varieties of the Iberian Peninsula, godello is a white grape indigenous to Galicia and highly regarded for its delicate texture and medium-high acidity. An early-ripened variety, it thrives in dry sites and well-drained soils, and is characterized by its small-sized berries and closely packed bunches. It is recognized for making age-worthy wines.

TASTING NOTES

Pale straw in color with enticing aromas of fresh white florals, white nectarine, and red haven peach coupled with underlying nuances of damp earth and grey slate. On the palate, the wine presents both stone and pomaceous fruit in a strikingly seductive elixir, boasting a well-balanced viscosity which is fortified by a crisp, mineral backbone that lends tension through to a long, crystalline, and delightfully vibrant finish.

“While salinity prowls the upper palate, a creamy base of lemon verbena and cashew line the back of the tongue. Orange blossoms and a glossing of chamomile are held high by a grassy, lean profile. With lifted acidity, it finishes with notes of crisp, chilled pears.” – Tasting Panel Magazine
