This Godello opens with aromas of pear, green apple, and citrus layered with hints of white flowers and mineral notes. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with ripe orchard fruit flavors balanced by bright acidity. A subtle textural weight gives the wine depth without heaviness. Notes of lemon zest and stone fruit add complexity. The finish is clean, structured, and lightly mineral.
