Tasting notes
Bright straw color. Tightly focused citrus and orchard fruit, honeysuckle and chalky mineral aromas are complemented by hints of fennel and green cardamom. Offers tightly wound, concentrated Meyer lemon, pear and bitter quinine flavors that show impressive depth and sharp delineation. Smoothly blends power and delicacy and finishes with superb, minerally cut and lingering citrus fruit and floral qualities. I would love to drink this wine alongside a top-drawer, Grand Cru Chablis from a great producer. (Raised in 10 year old French oak barrels for one year)

The 2016 Goliardo A Telleira feels very open and a little advanced, and it also has a mellow palate. A Telleira is a single vineyard of 45-year-old Albariño vines on sandy soils that tends to deliver a round Albariño, with plenty of energy. This feels ready. They usually fill two 500-liter oak barrels, so 1,000 to 1,200 bottles are produced.
