Alvaredos-Hobbs Ribeira Sacra Godello 2023
Pale straw hued with chlorophyllic (green) highlights, the wine opens with a fresh and vibrant bouquet of juicy white nectarine, wildflowers, and a touch of fennel, tied together by bright notes of lemon zest. Bright and energetic on the palate, lively ripe stone fruits are balanced by a subtle citrus pith and mineral tension, which provides focus through to a refined, lingering finish.
Blend: 86% Godello, 14% Loureiro
The blend of 86% Godello and 14% Loureiro offers salty notes of green apple and lemon zest, driven by an intense minerality. Bright acidity adds to its linear, complex profile, with a notably elegant presence. - 94pts Tasting Panel
