The ambitious 2019 Godello Old Vines comes in a huge bottle and was produced with the grapes from one vineyard in the village of O Barco and another one in Petín. The juice fermented without malolactic in 500- and 600-liter oak barrels, 15% of them new, and had an élevage of five months with fine lees and batonnage. It's spicy and smoky, clearly marked by the élevage, with a somewhat Burgundian profile intermixed with balsamic notes and the volume and freshness of the Godello and the vintage, with a bitter twist, which is one of the signature signs of Godello. Modern, clean, balsamic. There were 11,400 bottles produced. Because they had a small crop in 2018, it was bottled earlier than normal.

The 2015 Godello (Green Label) is aged ten months sur lie in French demi-muids and puncheons, seeing no stainless steel. The wine is a completely different style, as the vines for this cuvée are dry-farmed Godello bush vines planted 1904-1910. This is the equivalent of a Premier Cru, possibly a Grand Cru Chablis, with terrific stony minerality (notions of wet pebbles) as well as a touch of tangerine oil, orange blossom and apple skin. Crisp, medium-bodied, beautifully textured and long, this is a stunner and worth the full retail price of $25.00. Drink it over the next several years.

A plush texture carries ripe, fruity flavors of pear, quince and kumquat, with a honeyed vanilla note that lingers on the sweet finish. Generous, featuring just enough acidity to stay lively. Drink now. 5,000 cases made.??–TM??Region: Spain / Valdeorras Select to Add

The outstanding 2014 Godello comes from some of their oldest vineyards planted in 1904, 1906, 1915 and 1936. This is fermented and aged in large-format French oak barrels for ten months. This is probably Spain's top Godello. Beautiful notes of honeysuckle, nectarine, white peach and mango along with an almost flinty minerality are present in this medium to full-bodied beautifully pure, rich, fresh wine. Drink it over the next several years.

Ginger and nutmeg notes give this rich white a spicy character, framing pear and apple flavors over lively acidity. Shows good density, with light tannins. Drink now through 2017. 1,000 cases made.??–TM??Region: Spain / Valdeorras Select to Add
