The 2009 Terra do Lobo Godello was sourced from steep slopes made up of granite and slate and was fermented and raised in stainless steel. Light straw-colored, it shows off a splendid nose of mineral, spring flowers, baking spices, lemon-lime, and green apple. On the palate it has a laser-like focus, great concentration, vibrant acidity, and exceptional length. It admirably reflects the excellence of the 2009 vintage in Galicia.Importer: Winebow Inc., New York, NY; www.winebow.com

A well-etched Godello with peach and citrus aromas that are straightforward but clean as glass. The palate is smooth and glides along with citrus, green banana, tropical fruit and minerally flavors. On target and chiseled; potentially a very good wine with food.——M.S.(5/1/2011)—— 89
