2024 Verdad Godello

Verdad 2024 Godello

Rancho Ontiveros Vineyard

Santa Maria Valley

The Godello was harvested on October 9th at 21.6 brix. Godello grapes are round and fairly thick skinned and grow very well in the coastally influenced Santa Maria Valley.

The wine was fermented in 50% one-year old puncheons, without stirring and aged for 18 months prior to bottling.

The wine has a pale straw color with hints of freshly cut hay. It’s a medium bodied white wine with aromas and flavors of crisp Gold Rush Apples and Bartlett pears with hints of cardamom.

This medium bodied wine has a silky mouth feel with a crisp structure. Hints of hazelnuts and brioche toast lead to a long smooth finish. This grape variety has great potential to make beautiful wine.
