Crego e Monaguillo Godello

Crego e Monaguillo Godello 2007 Monterrei

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."
