"A blossom of white flowers on the opening aromatics, fragrant and enticing, elderflower is dominant, alongside lilies and apple blossom, clear saline kick, sea spray and oyster shell alongside crisp citrus and lime zest. Full of energy and extremely moreish. Great stuff. Fernando Gonzalez Riveiro winemaker, 3ha of vines entirely from the Godello grape. Granite, quartz and gneiss soils, steep slopes from 200-600m altitude, dry farmed, fermented in 1000l oak casks, native yeasts, then 15 months in large oak casks, producing 3,000 bottles. First time on the Place. Tasted twice, already looking forward to the next time. This is a textbook 94 point wine that is hard to not drink way too quickly." (07/2025)

"A new and interesting addition to La Place de Bordeaux this year. Super flowery aromatics with lemon juice and some white grapefruit. A slightly waxy, oily texture with some burnt caramel alongside peach and pear. Quite a savoury take with bright and zesty citrus elements alongside pronounced saltiness. Complex and enjoyable. Director Fabio González Pérez and winemaker Fernando González Riveiro." - Georgina Hindle (07/2025)

"A new presence on la place. Fascinating and, again, highly distinctive. Wild mint, Bergamotte, eucalyptus, privet, a hint of yuzu too and some lovely subtle floral notes. In the mouth this is, for now at least, dominated by the citrus – above all citron pressé and white grapefruit zest. There’s a more herbal element too – fennel seed and oregano, marjoram perhaps. Indeed, we have here something like the parfumier’s essence of mountain herbs. Fabulous. Glassy and intensely fresh with a rapier like clarity. Sapidity and salinity combine on the finish to render this even more succulent and juicy. Delicate and very refined yet vivid and vibrant at the same time. This has much in common with wines like Asphodèle and Lilium from Château Climens, above all in its crystallinity and that signature ‘white’ florality." - Colin Hay (09/2025)
