Castro Ventosa El Castro Valtuille Godello 2024
spain
$56
Crystalline in form with preserved lemon, subtle white pepper spice and tangy mediterranean herbs lingering. Detailed textures with a lift of flowers, stonefruit and and zesty fine laced acid. This is well crafted and hard to place geographically when tasted blind. It put me somehwere between Chablis and Soave with the precision and refreshment of Riesling. A lovely drink! Mitch Milicich, FWC
Sourced from clay and sandy sites from across Valtuille, this village expression is fermented in a mix of Foud and 500L barrels. Yellow peaches, salted lemon, yellow pear and fresh yellow flowers. Textural layers of churned butter and flint come through, wonderfully fresh and focused finishing with a nashi pear and brown apple note. Importer note
