O Casal, Valdeorras (Spain) Godello “Casal Novo” 2012

($21, Classic Wines): Godello, a grape indigenous to Valdeorras, a tiny DO in northwestern Spain, has great potential because it has the capacity to make a wine that combines a creamy richness with bold acidity.  The trick is to balance the two, as O Casal has done with their 2012 Casal Novo.  Its edginess keeps you coming back to savor its mouth filling texture.  It will cut through the heartiest of seafood dishes.
