Winery 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 was also a mineral-focused wine.  Again, barely anything came out of the nose save a hint of yellow tree fruit.  Barely anything goes on in the mouth initially with just some sweetness.  Subtle is a word I would use for this wine except for the minerality/salty terroir flavor that seems to come from all Spanish white wines.  Light and refreshing; sweeter than the rose.

Tasted without food.
