The Vineyard

The small plots on granite slopes, bush-trained and located at mid-altitudes, provide mineral intensity and natural balance. The combination of deep clay soils and fragmented granite rock favors tension and varietal character.

Tasting Notes

Brilliant greenish-yellow color. The nose reveals ripe stone fruit like peach, fresh apple, and wild yellow flowers, accompanied by citrus nuances, fennel, and lemon verbena.

On the palate, it is powerful and balanced, with a creamy texture supported by lively acidity. Long and persistent finish, with a marked mineral identity.

Pairing

Excellent with foie gras and figs, seafood, baked fish, seafood paella, or seasonal Atlantic cuisine.

A fresh and honest Godello that reflects the granite landscape of Valdeorras. Purity, energy, and elegance in the most youthful version of the variety.
