    Slightly briny and pickled on the nose, this Godello could benefit from being more fruity up front. Lemony acidity and a stony sensation define the mouthfeel, while this tastes lemony, briny and a touch bready from lees stirring.

    Leesy on the nose like the name implies, this Godello smells creamy, with notes of apple and melon. The palate shows moderate citric acidity but nothing scouring, while flavors of ripe apple, orange and powdered sugar finish leesy and peachy.

    Nectarine and brine are the lead aromas, but there's also a sense of toasty oak that is lees-based. A creamy, resiny mouthfeel and flavors of briny citrus fruits and melon finish firm and snappy.

    Oxidized peach and apple aromas are neither here nor there. The mouthfeel on this Godello is surprisingly soft, while oxidized flavors of citrus and melon lack kick. From start to middle to finish, this is low on pulse.
