2008 Bodegas Mengoba Blanco - Bierzo

Think of white Burgundy. Add some poached pears. Feel the minerality, a reminder of the broken slate & calcareous soil where the vines are grown. The 2008 Bodegas Mengoba Blanco is half Godello and half a not so known indigenous variety called Dona Blanco, which the oenologist Gregory Perez is bringing back excellent results. The famed Guia Penin in Spain, rewards his efforts with a 94 point review for the 2008 vintage.  We love it.
