RAUL PEREZ ULTREIA GODELLO

This is a decidedly dry, mineral, texturally rich and food friendly Godello. Compared to the oceans of fruity, cheap and cheerful Godello that is consumed in Spain and exported here as well, this serious and cerebral version may as well be from another grape variety. Highly recommended white from one of Spain’s most respectedm, thoughtful and hard working winemakers in Raúl Pérez.

92 points Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Outer quote mark There is a new white from Godello, as demand is growing, and they sourced the grapes from a vineyard that produced the first 2016 Ultreia Godello. It’s a north-facing plot that is very cold, and the grapes, picked at the end of the harvest, were only 12% alcohol. It fermented in 300-liter barrels and one 2,500-liter oak vat. It feels super young and undeveloped, with an austere nose and a very tasty palate with superb acidity. 7,000 bottles. (LG) Inner quote mark (2/2019)

Outer quote mark This is made from a blend of plots on clay and sand, with vines aged between 20 and 43 years. It’s fermented in barrel, and 30% is aged for one year in barrels acquired from Didier Belondrade in Rueda. Aromas of grapefruit lead into a rich body with notes of tropical fruits, enlivened by brisk acidity. Fresh and very long. Drinking Window 2019 – 2022 (SJE) Inner quote mark (2/2019)
