Rafael Palacios Louro Godello 2024
DOZEN: $712.80 or $59.40 each
80% sourced from estate vineyards. Fermented in 3,500-litre foudres ranging from 1 to 15 years old. Aged for 4 months in foudre without bâtonnage. 210,000 bottles produced.
Remarkable precision on the palate, with both opulence and salinity. Delicate mineral notes, fluid and elegant. Subtle hints of quince, chalk, and crystalline purity. An exceptionally refined vintage. It’s astonishing that such beauty can be achieved at a scale of 210,000 bottles. (17.5) FERRAN CENTELLES, www.jancisrobinson.com
The 2024 Godello Louro do Bolo from Valdeorras is nuanced, with hay, anise, acacia and a hint of reduction layered over barrel influence. Dry and intense, it balances richness with vibrant acidity, enhancing the variety’s delicacy without losing intensity. JOAQUIN HIDALGO, www.vinousmedia.com
A second wine made to be more accessible, translating as the “blonde” of the village, 2024 Louro Do Bolo is an outstanding village Godello from parcels through all the region planted in sandy and granitic soils. Medium-bodied, it has tremendous complexity and sophistication alongside a purity of citrus-driven fruit and fennel, with supportive acidity and enduring freshness. Fermentation is in French oak foudres, followed by aging on the fine lees for additional months. Drink now through 2034. JEB DUNNUCK
