the wine

Grown on the rugged slate of Valdeorras, this is a serious, barrel-touched white with real presence in the glass. There is orchard fruit, wild herb, and a saline depth, all held together with vibrant acidity. Give it roast chicken, grilled turbot, or a wedge of hard cheese.

tasting notes
Crystalline and brilliant, vivid yellow-green. Primary aromas of pip fruit, ripe apple, pear and acerola with field herbs, fennel, thyme and oregano. Fine and elegant. Vibrant and fresh, with a balsamic aftertaste, wide, tasty and glyceric, full-bodied, with a mineral, elegant, slightly bitter finish. Barrel-fermented in 500L French oak, four months on fine lees.

from Godeval.

Godeval helped lead the revival of Godello in Valdeorras, where the grape had nearly vanished before growers on these steep slate soils brought it back. The name looks back to that turning point.
