2010 GODELLO Almalarga Adega Pena das Donas
| Grapes: Godello | Origin: Spain, Ribeira Sacra |
Lea & Sandeman review
'Almalarga' means large in spirit, and this Godello certainly has plenty of that. Made from 80 to 100 year old vines and given four months on the lees, this has a distinctive Chablis like personality. Fresh, precise and focussed fruit with masses of character and a lovely texture for such a simple variety. Lively, mineral and fresh, this is a wine for drinking both on its own and with food.| Purchasing options | |||||||

Mixed Cases
a taste of GALICIA
Galicia is the bit of Spain that sticks out over the top of Portugal (but, of course, you knew that). Here the wines are very different to the rest of Spain, the whites are bright crisp aromatic affairs that accompany well the local sea-food based diet, whilst the less-known reds are at the fruitier, fresher end of things. Rioja they, certainly, are not. It was Albariño that put the region on the map internationally, but there is so much more to know. Here's a taste of Galicia, a selection that will charm and refresh, and have you yearning for more.
Chablis Burgundy France
"Full nose, open and with a creamy suppleness, then the mineral kicks in. Mildly saline feel, fresh and expressive."
