The medium straw-colored 2008 Alma de Blanca Godello is sourced from a single 30 year old vineyard. Its aromas of citrus, fresh herbs, and white peach jump from the glass. On the palate, this concentrated effort delivers pit fruit and tropical flavors, plenty of minerality, good depth, and a lengthy finish. Drink it over the next three years.

A little heavy and sweet on the nose, but juicy and deep on the palate, with round, pleasant lemon, grapefruit and green melon flavors. Dry, pure and driving white wine with a long, clean finish. Galician Godello in good form.——M.S.(2/1/2010)—— 88
