Gaba do Xil featured in WE's 'Sensational Summer Whites' Article ...
Gaba do Xil, the bright, mineral Godello from Telmo Rodriguez, is featured in a full-page spread in the July issue of the Wine Enthusiast.
The article focuses on top Spanish whites for the summertime and highlights the Spanish white wine regions of Rias Baixas, Valdeorras and Ribeiro, among others. Gaba do Xil hails from Valdeorras, an area located on the eastern edge of Galicia that is also known for slate mining – hence the strong mineral component to the white wines, which are almost exclusively made from the Godello variety.
Here are a few quotes from the article:
“Valdeorras Godello has the greatest potential for excellence among Galician whites, with Ribeiro a close second. Valdeorras, which sits along the banks of the Sil River, is extremely rural with little going on besides mining and agriculture. As for the wines, look for a golden color, acidity, minerality, good mouthfeel and flavors of apple, peach, almond and melon.”
Telmo Rodriguez’s ’09 Gaba do Xil Godello, named for the Sil river that runs through the region, received 89 points and the following mention:
“Frgrant, clean and tropical, with slate-driven minerality. Just fleshy enough, with flavors of green apple, fresh green herbs and a drip of honey. Serve with fried artichokes; Serrano ham; cheeses.
