Pale yellow. Tangy, grassy nose much like a Sauvignon Blanc. Citric crispness with a tart finish. My wife and I tried the 2007 Telmo Rodriguez Gabo do Xil Godello a few days ago and are impressed by the grape's range of possibility. The Gabo do Xil seemed much like a rich Pinot Grigio. This could pass for a smooth Sauvignon Blanc. Both are excellent but they are very different. We preferred the Gabo do Xil but could see food matches where this wine would be a better fit.

Mineral, tart, crisp - not bad, for the price, but not great

mineral and red grapefruit notes - a bit like an over-the-top Sav Blanc

Very fragrant aromas of honeysuckle, with bitter almond flavors in the mouth. A solid medium-bodied palate.
