Tasting notes
Lovely floral nose with restrained apricot fruit – perhaps a little underripe, and maybe just a little bit oxidised on the finish (this is from a previously Coravinned bottle). (RH)

The white 2021 Ultreia Godello shows freshness, restraint, balance and good freshness, with a very low pH of 3.19. It was produced with grapes mostly from Cacabelos and some from around Valtuille, mostly from their own vineyards; they purchased a large vineyard with some vines planted in 1906 and another plot regrafted from Palomino, and this wine is now some 70% from their own vines. It fermented in oak foudres and barriques. It has contained ripeness, 13.5% alcohol and a very fresh and mineral profile. They produced around 35,000 bottles of this.
Racy and salty, just the sort of wine I would happily order in a restaurant. Honeysuckle notes. (JR)
