Tasting Note

The wine has a pale gold colour and its movement in the glass indicates a full-bodied and dense mouthfeel. On the nose, the terroir gives way to aromas of lactic and orange blossom mixed with notes of fennel and pastry when opened. The wine has a dense mouthfeel with good acidity and persistence.

Product Notes

Adega Algueira Escalada Ribeira Sacra Godello wine is an exquisite Spanish white, originating from the steep terraces of the Ribeira Sacra region. This wine exudes a delightful nose of honeyed fruits, chamomile and almond backed by a vibrant acidity. On the palate, it is richly textured with nuances of peach, apple and white blossom, layered with intricate minerality for a rounded taste. Aged on its lees, this exceptional Godello variety offers superb depth, vivacity, and longevity. With its elegant finish, it remains a wonderful companion to seafood and poultry dishes or enjoyed independently for its charmingly complex character.
