93pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The white 2021 El Castro de Valtuille Godello comes from four plots of 25- to 35-year-old vines on sand, clay, boulders and quartzite soils. The destemmed grapes were pressed and the juice let to settle for 24 hours, and then fermented in barrels of different sizes—225-, 500- and 700-liter barrels—where it matured for one year. It's not a shy wine, with 13.56% alcohol and notable freshness and acidity (over seven grams), but it has great overall balance and an expressive nose of pollen, dry flowers and a spicy touch. It's vibrant, easy to drink, fine-boned and very tasty. 7,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2022.
