I tasted the first bottling of the young and unoaked 2021 Guitian Godello, the yellow label bottling that usually comes quite reduced and needs some time in bottle to dissipate the sulfur from the bottling. Underneath, there are notes of apples, bay leaf and balsam. It has moderate ripeness and alcohol (13%) and a medicinal and balsamic palate with a bitter twist in the finish. Give it some time in bottle and it should blossom. 2021 was a small crop, the result of mildew and hail. But the ripeness was good. 80,000 bottles produced.

This white is full-bodied, yet remains firm and focused, with a waxy texture that carries pear, anise, salted butter, tarragon and mineral notes. Drink now. 6,600 cases made, 50 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Valdeorras Select to Add
