Gaba do Xil Godello 2017

There was a terrible frost in 2017; they lost 85% of the crop and had to do two harvests for the 2017 Gaba Do Xil Godello, one for the original grapes and the second some 18 days later for the second flowering, so they did two fermentations and a blend of the two. It's a little reduced, so decanting it in advance might not be a bad idea. It's been in bottle for almost one year, and they released it quite soon because the last few vintages have been very short, so perhaps the wines are released a little too soon. The wine feels quite young and undeveloped, with some bay leaf aromas and a subtle palate with focused and persistent flavors. 49,800 bottles produced.
