The location of the Monterrei region provides it with a special microclimate, giving large fluctuations in temperatures which preserve and intensify the aromatics, resulting in a wine with ripe apple and rose petal aromas and a fresh, silky palate. A perfect accompaniment with shellfish and seafood.

"Boosted by the strong Spanish economy, in recent years the quality of winemaking there has leapt incredibly, especially outside the well-known regions with less of an export market. Made by a husband and wife team in the Galicia region, and from the frankly obscure Godello grape, this would have been a tough sell until recently. However, it's time to plough your own furrow and try this, because it's lovely. There is a great tradition of fantastic fish cookery in Galicia (on the Atlantic coast) and this would be a perfect partner to a plate of garlicky prawns or grilled squid."

"Godello is arguably Spain's most up-and-coming white variety at the moment, a variety that tastes like a more tropical version of Austria's Grüner Veltliner. Greengage, melon and aniseed flavours with good richness behind them."

"Further proof of the improvements Spanish whites have made over the last five years, this is the kind of wine you want to bore your friends about. It's a very fresh, youthful Godello with notes of greengage and tropical fruit and crunchy acidity. At the two (or more) bottle price (£7.49 each) it's a white to buy by the case."
