Alvaredos-Hobbs Ribeira Sacra Godello 2021

Pale straw in color with enticing aromas of fresh white florals, white nectarine, and red haven peach coupled with underlying nuances of damp earth and grey slate. On the palate, the wine presents both stone and pomaceous fruit in a strikingly seductive elixir, boasting a well-balanced viscosity which is fortified by a crisp, mineral backbone that lends tension through to a long, crystalline, and delightfully vibrant finish. 

Blend: 94% Godello, 6% Loureiro

While salinity graces the front of the palate, creamy base of lemon verbena and cashew covers the back of the tongue. Orange blossom and chamomile are held upright by acidity and a grassy, lean profile before the finish of crisp pear. - 94pts Tasting Panel
