I'm not sure who Claudina may have been, but her eponymous vineyard is now clothed in fifty-year-old Godello. Sometimes Raúl Perez coaxes a layer of flor yeast onto the surface of the evolving wine; not so in the warm 2019, when the low pH levels made such prestidigitation tricky. No matter: the wine does not want for freshness; on the contrary, it is wonderfully cleansing; hints of briny salinity, iodine and sousbois adding precision and depth. Green apples, acacia, sourdough and verbena complete the portrait. Quite a portrait.
