"Ripe and rich Godello from a single plot grown on sandy soils. Bright lemon citrus aromas dominate the nose along with quite a bit of oaky spice. The barrel influence continues on the palate with a fine-grained texture from quality new oak which seems to be the main protagonist in the wine. It is creamy and mouthfilling, reminiscent of a Chablis cru, and held together with a mineral, flinty core with lovely salinity on the finish. A polished wine. 2024-30"

"I find the 2022 Ultreia La Claudina to be a lot more subtle and elegant. It comes from a vintage when the vines delivered very healthy grapes and a larger crop. They had to wait to harvest the grapes because the higher yield meant the plants had problems to ripen all the fruit. The palate is elegant and fresh, with clean flavors and precision. 2,300 bottles produced."
