A very nice surprise, with aromas that open up slowly: white fruit, apricots and discreet wax notes, indicating extended lees contact. In the mouth, it is very serious and well structured, with a crisp acidity that suggests minerality and lovely citric fruit. Very persistent, with a tense and elegant finish. An excellent expression of Godello, built upon great fruit and deft ageing. A new star.
