100% Godello. 40-year-old vines at 800m – the highest vines in Galicia. Fermented and aged in large French oak foudres . Very pale with green glints. Extremely complex and aromatic – some orange but also grassy, mineral and smoky. Dense and wonderfully fresh (pH is 3.1!). Concentrated, mineral and yet still has lovely white fruit notes. Very long. A terrific wine. (JH)

(100% godello) Pale yellow. Spicy citrus, orange and melon aromas are brightened by zesty minerals; smells like Puligny-Montrachet. Suave white peach and pear flavors lead to firm lemon zest, spice and chalky minerality on the back end. Impressively elegant and clean wine with the balance to age for a couple of years.
