The unoaked 2010 Alma de Blanco Godello (100%) was produced from a single 30-year-old estate vineyard. Fragrant minerals, nutmeg, white peach, and pear aromas inform the nose of a concentrated, mouth-filling, spicy, mineral-laden white. This nicely proportioned, lengthy Godello is an excellent value that will drink nicely for another 3-4 years. Importer: F.L. Navarro, The Artisan Collection, Brooklyn, NY; Tel. (718) 596-0722

Fruity, minerally and nice, with aromas of pear, apple and pineapple that make you want to take a drink. The palate is juicy and fresh, with slate-driven green apple and citrus flavors. Quick on the finish, with a revisiting of the wine’s mineral component.——M.S.(8/1/2010)—— 88
