- Grilled John Dory (doesn't mean you grill your mate John Dory)
A great modern day expression of godello. Flinty aromas with hints of white pear and peach. In the mouth it zings and sings with flavours of ripe peach, and banana leaf, with a silky texture.
COLIN'S NOTE
Godello is thought to be same variety as Gouveio in northern Portugal.
IN SHORT
A high-altitude Godello that tastes like sea breeze and sunshine bottled with a wink.
VIRGIN DEL GALIR
Tucked away in the rugged hills of Valdeorras in north-west Spain, Virgen del Galir is all about altitude, granite soils and a touch of Galician magic. Perched on steep mountain slopes and lashed by Atlantic winds, their vineyards produce some of the most exciting Godello in Spain. The team here blends deep local roots with a modern streak of innovation, championing the purity and texture of this native grape while keeping everything refreshingly unpretentious. It’s old vines, wild terrain and pure coastal character bottled by people who love what they do and where they do it.
