Godello is a white wine grape planted in Galicia, Spain. On the verge of extinction, Godello was brought back in the 1970s, and now is one of the most popular white wine varieties. Godello wines produced in steel tanks have a crisp, fresh, and fruity with good mineral notes. Godello wines produced with oak are creamy on the palate, which is a direct result of contact with lees. The most notable characteristic of Godello wines is the wildflower flavor and a fuller body than most wines with the same mineral qualities. It is important not to confuse Godello with Verdelho. They are different grapes, but the same name is sometimes used. Godello is also known as Ojo de Gallo, Godenho, Agudelo, and Agodenho.

The unique volcanic soil composition of this site is exhibited in this Cabernet’s mineral texture and intensely structured palate. This latest release from the exceptional 2018 vintage presents a deep purple rim surrounding an opaque garnet core with an abundance of aromas emerging from bakers’ chocolate and dark cherry to crème de cassis to tapenade. Both graceful and bold on the palate, the broad tannins are balanced by pulsing acidity that brings tension and freshness throughout. Notes of boysenberry are interspersed with accents of sweet thyme against a backdrop of crush rock minerality, adding to the long finish and layers of complexity.
