Variety: Godello
Region: Monterrei
Country: Spain
Year: 2014
Price: $16
Shop Review: Clean, minerally, slightly green in aromatics and oh so approachable and nice. For an under-$15 white, this Godello from Monterrei excels with layered flavors of apple, minerals and natural spice. The finish is long and hints at fresh herbs like thyme and tarragon. Potentially superb with garlic shrimp or calamari over fresh greens.
My review: This wine felt heavier on the tongue than the Domaine de la Foret, and tasted a bit like juice (it reminded me of white-grape juice). It wasn’t as refreshing as the first, and the taste of alcohol was much stronger. I did not try this wine with food.
