winotonight reviewed Benaza Monterrei Godello 2009 on August 14, 2011

The bouquet reminds me of summer, with ripe banana and citrus fruit, along with fresh roses, peanuts and a rich, ice cream component. The palate is steely, but with a herbal blanket that melds apricot, lime, pear and apple towards a long finish. I'd recommend this to anyone who likes to try something different in a white, also Rhone fans will enjoy. Mostly Godello, with small additions of Dona Blanca and Treixadura.
