Vinous Media 92
"Vivid straw. Expressive Meyer lemon, pear and honeysuckle aromas are lifted by a chalky mineral nuance and a spicy ginger note. Silky and sharply delineated on the palate, offering vibrant orchard and citrus fruit flavors that display power but not excess fat. Closes tight and impressively long, with resonating citrus fruit and mineral notes and a sexy floral nuance.

Wine Spectator 91
"This firm white shows some power, with tangy acidity and a touch of tannin supporting pear, heather and chalky flavors. A bit austere, but balanced and deep. Drink now through 2025.

Tasting Notes
"Lovely bright gold colour. Complex nose with ripe yellow apple notes, savoury notes with a salty character. It has a lot of tension on the palate, it is lean and very fresh, mellowed by a lovely texture. The finish is lingering with plenty of zesty fruit and mineral character.

The Wine
100 Godello sourced from various south and southwest-exposed plots. Hand-harvested and fermented and aged in tank. No malo.

The Estate
In the last two decades since the Lpez Vicente family decided to take their fourth-generation Valdeorras winegrowing know-how to the next level of quality, their Adega A Coroa has risen into the top ranks of the appellation. The delicious and classic estate Godello is selected from various parcels, all planted to relatively mature vines (35 years is on the older side, given the relatively recent renaissance of Godello!) on gentle slopes of broken pizarra (slate) and hand-harvested.
