Reviews and Ratings

Ronald Georges du blogue Millésime rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

Affichant une couleur pelure d’oignon, on sent les fruits blancs transformés. Par la suite, il développe des arômes complexes d’épices, de poire, de miel, de fruits blancs confits, d’ananas confit et de bois. Excellent.
Philippe Perreault - Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

This white is made of 100% Godello.

I think most of you have never heard about Godello grape. :)
The Romans brought this unknown grape in Spain more than 2000 years ago.
Today we count a few hundred hectares in Galicia, Spain.

Very clear yellow/green color with notes of grapefruit, lemon, pineapple and flower.

This wine is soft, rich and very long on the palate.

Excellent to match an antipasto or grilled shrimp with avocado and mango.

Serve it at 8-10 degrees.

This wine is ready to drink.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
