Award: Independent Wines Direct Tasting - Angela Mount 2014 - Angela Mount's Top 10 White Wines For Christmas 2013

Tasting notes:
An outstanding wine from the most eastern region of Galicia, in northern Spain, Valdeorras. Galicia is known for the very popular Albarinho, but this is from the new star on the block, the Godello grape variety. A worthy winner of a silver medal in this year’s International Wine & Spirit Competition, this wine tantalizes the taste buds with its audaciousness and individuality. On the nose, there’s a fresh, very distinctive aroma of fresh grapefruit, and ripe pear; taste it, and it has a tingling vibrancy, and a gloriously refreshing style, which perks up the taste buds, bursting with freshly cut herbs, and candied lemon peel flavours, which lead into a gloriously dry, crisp, lingering finish. I know it’s from an inland area, but it reminds me of the sea, in terms of its freshness! It would be perfect with a classic platter of the freshest seafood, but also an ideal match for smoked fish, pan-fried cod, Thai chicken salad, and spiced up vegetable salads… pretty much my top choice for a refreshing Boxing Day white.
