93+pts The Wine Advocate – 2016 vintage

“The white 2016 Godello was produced with grapes from vines grown within the Bierzo appellation, but it’s sold with the more generic Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León appellation. It fermented and matured in oak barrels, and in 2016, it has contained alcohol and low pH, which translates into good freshness and an austere, serious mouthfeel. It has the grape’s aromatics and a lively mouthfeel, very tasty. It’s a lighter and fresher year, when they used more used oak, a year of higher yields and less alcohol. 5,354 bottles were filled in June 2017.”
