Mara Martin Godello, Mártin Códax, Monterrei, GaliciaOH. MY. GODELLO! Tastes like: Russet Apple. Pear. Lime. Hay. Wild blossoms. Wet pebbles. We think the wines of Galicia deserve a god like status and if (like us) you already worship at the altar of Albario then wed suggest you also make an offering to another of the regions holy varietals; Godello. This rather rapturous example comes from a sustainable producer whose Godello grows near picturesque Monterrei on the Spanish Portuguese border. The wine

this particular windmill is 'loco' (the Spanish for crazy) as it turns only on calm

This is the kind of red you happily chill for 20 minutes

More and more producers are employing methods in tandem with Mother Nature but seeing bottled aged examples at this price is quite a revelation

They gather the best produce from the local cooperatives and 'finish them off'

giving its wines a wonderful freshness

and the wine is a classic combination of 60% Pinot Noir

Some say its the Welsh Beaujolais and give the French a run for their money

And 'Sur lie' indicates the wine spent extra time sat on its lees to add texture and character - delish

The grapes are grown on traditional terraces - benefiting from the warm sea air and cooling breezes from the nearby Alps - and are carefully handpicked before being vinified and matured in stainless steel to preserve the fresh

Barbaresco’s notoriety and existence is largely thanks to Domizio Cavazza

this Gewürz makes an ideal aperitif or pairing for exotic dishes
