Louro Godello, Rafael Palacios 2021

Made largely from Godello that is fermented in large oak ahead of four months on its lees, Louro is grown on granite terraces at altitude. Presenting quite a unique nose it offers beeswax, dried herbs, quince and fresh almond on the nose. This follows on the palate, which is oily with confit citrus and ripe peach. Ground almond and oily stone fruit linger with a little smoky reduction on the finish. Richly textured and gourmand.
