Wine Review: This golden yellow colored Godello from Alvaredos-Hobbs is impressive. It opens with a quince and wet stone bouquet with hints of lemon zest. On the palate, this wine is full bodied with integrated medium acidity. The mouthfeel is nicely balanced, smooth, seamless, lush, and mouthwatering. The flavor profile is a tasty quince and saline blend with notes of mild honey and light grapefruit. We also detected some hints of white pepper, stone dust, white peach, and oak. The finish is dry, and its flavors and acidity show very nice length. I would pair this very good Godello with a pan-seared Chilean sea bass. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Pale straw in color with enticing aromas of fresh white florals, white nectarine, and red haven peach coupled with underlying nuances of damp earth and grey slate. On the palate, the wine presents both stone and pomaceous fruit in a strikingly seductive elixir, boasting a well-balanced viscosity which is fortified by a crisp, mineral backbone that lends tension through to a long, crystalline, and delightfully vibrant finish.
