BodegasRafaelPalacios,“LouroDoBolo”,Godello,2024

Pure, intense and bright Godello from top producer

The 2024 is bright and pithy – the nose packed with lime zest, crisp green apple and sea spray. The palate is taut and intense, limey, pure and long, the layers of fruit complementing its backbone of minerality. This is still a baby and will flesh out in bottle, the light spritz disappearing and developing more of its trademark waxy, honeyed tones

“Remarkable precision on the palate, with both opulence and salinity. Delicate mineral notes, fluid and elegant. Subtle hints of quince, chalk, and crystalline purity. An exceptionally refined vintage. Astonishing that such beauty can be achieved at a scale of 210,000 bottles.”-Jancis Robinson
