PRIETO PARIENTE | O CHAN GODELLO 2024 75cl

The O Chan Godello from Prieto Pariente is born on a mountainside in Bierzo, where the northern slope of Carrapito hill allows for a slow and precise ripening. There, on slate and quartzite soils, Godello finds the freshness it needs to reveal its finest and most angular character. A wine that looks to the Atlantic sky and digs its roots into poor and mineral soil, resulting in a pure, vibrant, and identity-filled expression.
