Telmo Rodriguez,

This wine is made from 100% Godello in Galicia in northwest Spain. It is vibrant, yet effortlessly elegant. The nose displays zesty citrus notes of lemon and pink grapefruit alongside a hint of green apple and dried thyme. Its acidity is fresh – thanks to the vines’ altitude of around 500 metres above sea-level – which works well with a fairly generous mouth-feel (thanks to four months on lees). In our opinion, what really makes this Godello stand apart is its cool, refreshing, mineral core which lasts long into the finish – perhaps a result of the slate bedrock on which the vines grow. Enjoy this with limey fish tacos, fennel-based dishes or simply as an apéritif.

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".
