"The Ribeiro “X” Godello bottling from Coto de Gomariz is made from fifteen year-old vines planted in the single vineyard of O Taboleiro, on granite soils. The wine is fermented and raised in stainless steel, with the 2023 version coming in at an even thirteen percent octane. It is a touch reductive when first opened (like a Domaine Leflaive Puligny) and needs a couple of minutes of air to start to blossom, but once it does, it offers up a beautiful bouquet of lemon, peach, a touch of beeswax, a complex base of stony minerality, orange peel and a lovely floral topnote. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, focused and complex, with a superb core of fruit, excellent mineral drive and grip, a fine spine of acidity and lovely balance on the long and vibrant finish that closes with a note of citrus peel. This is first class Godello that will age very well. 2026-2036+."
