R. Parker (93/100)
The top of the range white is pure Godello. They aim for a long-lived white with their 2014 Escalada, sourced from steep sloped vineyards; it finished fermenting in barrel, a very slow fermentation in this vintage, which lasted for one year. The two whites could not be more different in character. Here you notice the seriousness, the concentration, the power, the elegance and the subtle minerality. The power here is not provided by concentration, but by the saline minerality, which is more a tactile sensation than an aroma or flavor; this wine is straight, the word symmetric comes to my head, pungent and sharp. In another word, terrific! 4,000 bottles produced.
