Note di degustazione
Fermented and aged in large oak foudres for four months. Honey, clove, tropical citrus, tangy lemon, long flinty note – this has a lot going on, and it's driven by high but wonderfully integrated acidity. Finishes with a vivid Mediterranean herbal scent – rosemary? Delightful! (RH)

The 2022 Godello Louro Do Bolo is sourced in O Bolo, Valdeorras and was aged for four months in foudre on fine lees. It has a greenish hue with a yellow sheen. The nose reveals notes of green apple, herbs and chamomile, along with hints of white flowers and peaches. Rich, concentrated and oily, with a refreshing, taut palate, this detailed white lingers long and precise.
The 2022 Louro still feels a little reductive and has pungent balsamic notes of bay leaf. It was a very warm year with constant heat and very healthy grapes. It keeps the freshness but still feels the roundness of the year. Most of the grapes were picked before the rain they had in September. It's tasty with a salty twist in the finish. These wines benefit from time in bottle; this 2022 still feels too young and undeveloped to me.
