Bodegas Rafael Palacios,
Ready, but will keep,
Lemon gold in colour, this fascinating example of Godello has aromas of white flowers, lemon-lime citrus and hints of Marcona almonds. The palate is textured and full of energy, exuding such salinity it is reminiscent of oysters. There is undeniable richness here too though, suggesting it would also be a wonderful match with crab, whilst the finish is pure bitter lemon. Godello is undergoing a renaissance in the restaurant trade and this refreshingly vibrant yet complex example is a wonderful demonstration as to why.

Godello is a white grape variety primarily found in northwest Spain and northern Portugal. The grape is capable of producing very fine white wines, and it is in the Valdeorras region that its greatest successes are seen, leading to a steady increase in plantings there. Bodegas Rafael Palacios (managed by the brother of Spain’s leading winemaker Alvaro Palacios) has been the driving force behind the revival of the grape.
In Jancis Robinson MW words' "Godello combines the structure of white burgundy with the finesse of a juicily mineral grape".
