Spanish whites seem to be so often defined by Albarino, which admittedly makes a wonderful wine, especially those from Rias Baixas in Galicia in northwestern Spain.
But the Godello grape-and this “other” Spanish wine is 100% Godello-delivers up something completely different and something you should try, especially now that warmer weather is here. This one has a very pale straw color but don’t mistake it for a wine with no character. It has a really lovely floral aroma, with real body, and lots of lime flavors and maybe some pineapple with strong mineral notes. Crisp and refreshing. Some compare it to a Sauvignon Blanc but I think the difference is striking.
It’s also a great value, depending on where you buy it; I think it can be had for as little as $12.
