There’s a fine line between a fresh Godello and one that’s starting to turn. This one may soon fall into the latter category, but before it gets there look for peppery white-fruit aromas and flavors. Tastes of honeyed melon are topped with cracked black pepper. Turns a bit creamy and sweet on the finish, another indication that it is starting to age.

With red wines joven usually means a few months in oak. It seems as though this wine was made the same way; there’s a kiss of popcorn and buttered toast to the lemon and melon nose, while the palate has life, texture and complexity. Flavorwise, you should enjoy the wine’s papaya, green banana and other tempered tropical flavors. Balanced and pleasing, and proof that certain Spanish whites can take some oaking.

An example of a richer-styled Godello, a grape you’ll only find in this small region. The nose and body are both full, and despite no oak aging, there are licorice and vanilla shadings to the ripe apple and banana flavors. Something to chew on. Unique.
