Tasting Notes
“The pale 2018 Aires de Vendimia Godello is balsamic, varietal and also serious, with good finesse, reflecting a cooler year when the wines reflect the conditions with more freshness. It comes from sandy soils that tend to deliver fine and elegant wines. This has moderate alcohol and, thus, a medium body and very good freshness and acidity, with parameters that are not common for the variety. The juice from the direct pressing was put in 500-liter oak barrels to ferment with all the solids and with indigenous yeasts, and the wine matured in those same containers with the fine lees for one year. The wine does not show any oak whatsoever. It's precise, tasty and long. 93/100.” Luis Gutiérrez
