COMPAÑIA DE VINOS TELMO RODRIGUEZ

Gaba do Xil Branco 2018

- 16 points -

A blend from the single plots of A Pedreira, A Torgueira, O Barreiro, Valerio, and Valdemás located in the villages of Larouco and Santa Cruz (Ourense). Plantings at 400500 m elevation, on reddish soils of clay and slate. Traditional viticulture, resulting in 80% VSP-trained vines and 20% bush vines. Hand-harvested with bunch selection, fermented using native yeasts in stainless-steel vats, then lees-aged in stainless-steel vats for four months.
Tasted blind. An easy-drinking style of Godello. Fruity, agreeable, more immediate than persistent, but voluminous too. Refreshing. Not the most complex, but very pleasurable. Nicely made and well-managed, but not particularly deep.
