Finca OS Cobatos Godello Blanco 2018
Finca OS Cobatos is one of the most modern wineries in the region and perfectly equipped to make stunningly fresh white wines. The estate is situated in the cool far north corner of the Iberian peninsula immediately to the north of Portugal. The region is home to an array of indigenous grapes probably the best known being Albarino. However the aromatic Godello we believe to be every bit as good as its better known cousin.
Vinification
The grapes underwent an 8-hour cold maceration prior to temperature-controlled fermentation in 100% stainless steel tanks. The wine was fermented with natural yeast strains and held on the less for 4 months to add a little bit extra weight and texture. It was then cold stabilized to preserve freshness, filtered and bottled.
Viticulture
Planted in the early '80s, this vineyard is one of the oldest vineyards in Monterrei.
Tasting Note
Clean, pale straw colour, highly aromatic with fruity aromas and a mineral sensation. Crisp and dry on the palate with notes of pineapple and tropical fruits, a very refreshing and dry finish.
Everyday Serving Suggestion
Finca OS Cobatos Godello Blanco is best served as an aperitif or with salads and seafood.
