Pale lemon yellow color. Aromas of grapefruit, citrus zest, yellow flowers, a hint of rose, and chalk. On the palate, this is crisp and tart, showing a citrus core with bitter melon, grapefruit, meyer lemon, and a racy chalky/mineral streak that carries into a long, tart, finish that has a bit of bitterness to it. Gets spicy as it airs, particularly on the finish, which also picks up some heat. Great apertif, salad, or white fish wine. Should play well with shellfish too. Very good. Drink now for freshness.

From the river valley, 100% Godello, lees contact, all the way through. Great minerality and freshness, body and liveliness. Lively, lovely. A bit more "luxiouris than chardonnay" they say.

Wine Education Service - Galicia (LSE): Bright greenish gold. Creamy, complex, interesting. Refreshing, good weight and balance, quite an opulent feel in the mid palate, bitter finish, great length.

Gorgeous melange of pear, citrus and minerals - at once creamy and juicy, structured and vibrant, with exc acidity supporting deep fruit flavours- absolutely delish - there is a Chardonnay-like richness to it that makes the crispness and acidity stand out-it is round mid-palate too, but the acidity kicks in, and offers exc support-this wine is best served slightly chilled-too cold and you miss out, and too warm and it tastes like a Cali Chard.

Creamy, creamy palate. Medium acidity and lemon flavors. Medium bodied up front but then fresh and light on the midpalate and finish. Just a hint of bitterness on the finish.

Crisp and still fresh and bright. Good acid but not harsh at all. Very good (86.5).

Rich and buttery. Like a rich Chardonnay almost, but crisper. High good (84.5).

Nicely made, nice chardonnay like nose, but very little impact on the palate. Just seemed shut down. Maybe suffering from travel still?

Nice change of pace with wet stone, honey and minerals on a spicy finish. Would like to see a bit more freshness in the wine but like the style.

Spanish Tasting (Fine's Cellar, Scottsdale): Pineapple, banana and lime. Nice acidity. Dry grapefruit finish.
