  March 16, 2022 - My first experience with this wine and it was a good one. A blend of 92 percent Godello and 8 percent Treixadura, sourced from several parcels (sandy and granite soils) in the village of O Bolo (located about sixty kilometers east of the city of Ourense / Galicia). The wine was fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged for four months on its fine lees. Surprisingly youthful lemon yellow in color and a fruit forward nose of peach, nectarine, melon and some hints of dried herbs and orange zest. The harmonious palate is marked by lush citrus and stone fruit, quite a creamy texture and a refreshing acid structure. Persistent finish. This wine is at its peak now; drink it over the next year or two.
  
  Mijn eerste ervaring met deze wijn en dat viel best mee. Een blend van 92 percent Godello en 8 percent Treixadura, afkomstig van verschillende percelen (zand- en granietgronden) in het dorp O Bolo (gelegen op ongeveer zestig kilometer ten oosten van de stad Ourense / Galicië). De wijn werd gefermenteerd met natuurlijke gisten en rijpte vier maanden ‘sur lie’. Verrassend jeugdig citroengeel van kleur en een zeer fruitige neus van perzik, nectarine, meloen en wat nuances van gedroogde kruiden en sinaasappelschil. Het harmonieuze smaakpatroon wordt gekenmerkt door weelderig citrus- en steenfruit, een vrij romige textuur en een verfrissende aciditeitsstructuur. Persistente afdronk. Deze wijn is nu op zijn hoogtepunt; drink hem nu en in de volgende twee jaar.

  July 19, 2021 - This was my last of 3 bottles and I enjoyed it less than the previous times. However, I do still recall from the previous bottles, that I had summed it up as a crossroads of Burgundian winemaking with Alsatian depth and Santorinian minerality. Great value for money too and a perfect match for my rabbit with riesling & herbs (lemon verbena, sage, lavender) from the garden.
