Lively, aromatic whites with sharp acidity and a sleek palate, with intense aromas of citrus, white peach, apricot, white flowers, passion fruit and characteristic Atlantic saline-iodine notes. Tonic and long finish. Absolute star of Rías Baixas DO in Galicia (Spain) and signature of Portuguese Vinho Verde as Alvarinho (Monção e Melgaço). Native Iberian variety, exported to Uruguay, California and New Zealand.
Galician DO south-east of Ourense on the Portuguese border, micro-climate blending continental and Atlantic. Godello is the signature white king: structured and taut with green apple, pear, citrus, white flowers, honey, almond and a mineral touch, ample and long palate — one of the greatest Galician whites. Floral Treixadura, lively Doña Blanca. Mencía is the flagship red: juicy and fresh (raspberry, cherry, violet, pepper, graphite), fine tannins.
