the spanish aquisition

Telmo Rodriguez, D.O. Valdeorras

Godello wines, when vinified in controlled temperature conditions (18-20 C) during fermentation, combine robustness of structure with delicacy of expression. They are pale yellow in color, with steely, sometimes olivey tinges, and are glyceric in texture. The aromatic components are hints of green fruit, predominantly apples, with hints of apricot, peach, white flowers and honey. They are subtle, lusciously textured, well-structured wines, expansive on the palate, smooth in the mouth, slow and persistent with a long, satisfactorily dry-zesty finish, corresponding perfectly to the typical characteristics of European Atlantic wines.

There's a hint of lanolin and wax as usual for Godello, but lemon-melon-pear are the main flavours, particularly canned pear. Texture is slinky-creamy with mineral and a nip of fresh acid at the finish.
