Fragas do Lecer 2022 Fraga do Corvo White "Sobra Lias"
The Godello here is actually two distinctive types, one of which is confusingly called Verdello – an older clone that produces small, tight bunches of grapes ending in a point, whose juice is tauter and more mineral than the newer clone. This new vintage packs quite a punch of flavor, bordering on the flamboyant!
