Valdesil, Godello Sobre Lías, Valdeorras, Galicia, 2018

A sleek version of Godello from Valdeorras, more focused on texture than on aromatic expression. Great acidity, high extraction and lots of elegance. More hedonistic than complex, indicative of a special terroir, schist-based. Particular and very interesting – yet another distinctive option. Finish is long and a bit narrow, but very well-defined. There’s a lovely, subtle bitterness on the finish. To be drunk now and in four to five years’ time.
