Casar de Burbia Valdepiñeiro Vino de Paraje 2022

Subtle spices, kiwi fruit, blossoms and a hint of minerals. Bright but sleek, with a laser beam of acidity threaded into its medium-bodied palate. Pretty long and mouthwatering in the finish, with an appealing lactic undertone. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.

Very expressive and fine, this Godello comes from the paraje of Valdepiñeiro in Valtuille de Arriba. Fresh pineapple, lime and forest freshness speak to the vineyard’s higher zone. A little bit of reduction adds interest – there’s even a touch of passionfruit – which enhances this fruit-rich and fine white. Oak is very well handled, and the 12 months in barrel is barely noticeable, subtly framing the wine and bringing a little weight. 2024-28
