  Full ripe fruit, ripe peach, pastry crust, and cream with very light oregano. M+ body. M+ aromatic intensity of ripe spiced apple with a little oxidation, ripe pear, and light rose perfume. Some weight and texture. M acid. M lemon color.

  15 Months and No Longer Counting
  
  Ah yes, January 2023, that’s when I expressed my continuing love of today’s wine, albeit the 2020 vintage, and having also reviewed the 2019 vintage 4 months earlier. January 2023 was when I referred to completing the review on this new vintage (2021) as “very soon.” As I expressed in October 2023 with the review of another of the winery’s wines, the Bodegas Avancia "Nobleza" Godello Valdeorras 2020, the review of today’s wine was delayed as “life got in the way, and that got put on hold.” I’m here to finally rectify that delay.
  
  Bodegas Avancia "Old Vine" Godello Valdeorras 2021
  
  From the winery’s Finca Aeiroá vineyard in the D.O. Valdeorras, this organically farmed 100% Godell wine is fermented and aged (10 months) in French Oak giving this wine its distinctive flavors of stone fruits that dominate alongside a citrusy core culminating in this bright refreshing wine. A lean vein of minerality runs in the background. A great wine for shellfish, fish, and lighter fare.
  
  The Avancia Godellos are a staple of my wines. Each wine displays slight nuances that distinguish each from the other, and at different price points, allows a wide range of uses. The Cuvée de O Godello, Godello Old Vines, and the Nobleza Godello Old Vines along with Cuvée de O Mencía and Nobleza Mencía round out these fabulous wines brought to us from Jorge Ordóñez Selections.
  
  Take your pick, but I highly recommend that you try their wines, I think you’ll enjoy them. I just wouldn’t wait 15 months to drink them!
  
  Cheers

  Consistently strong wine. Medium bodied with beautiful balance between creaminess/peach notes and enough acidity to keep it fresh
