This sur lie Godello now mentions old vines on the label, and the 2017 Mengoba Godello Viejo Sobre Lías had some skin contact and fermented in 4,000-liter oak vat, where the wine matured for 12 months and a further 12 months in stainless steel. The wine is quite polished by the time its bottled and released. It has moderate alcohol and very good freshness for the year and is serious, reveals some restraint and has a balanced palate with fresh, clean and focused flavors. Its approachable now but has the stuffing to develop further in bottle. 10,000 bottles produced. Luis Gutierrez, TWA.
