WINE DESCRIPTION
Godeval Godello is a stellar white wine from the Valdeorras region in Spain, renowned for its resurrection of the Godello grape. Bodegas Godeval spearheads this renaissance, producing wines that truly encapsulate the varietal's potential. The vineyards, perched on steep slate hillsides, benefit from a unique microclimate that imbues the grapes with intense flavor and minerality. Fermented in stainless steel to highlight the grape's purity, this wine is a testament to the dedication of reviving ancient varietals with modern precision, offering a fresh and aromatic profile distinct from the more commonly known Spanish whites.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Upon pouring, Godeval Godello greets with a pale, sun-kissed yellow hue, promising freshness and vibrancy.The bouquet is a fragrant dance of blossoms and orchard fruits, with green apple, pear, and a twist of citrus zest leading the way, trailed by a delicate hint of white flowers. On the palate, this Godello reveals a surprising weight, juxtaposed with a bright, almost electric acidity that keeps it nimble and refreshing. The mid-palate is caressed by a subtle creaminess, making way to a flinty mineral streak that echoes the slate soils of its terroir. The finish is clean, with a lingering fruity and floral aftertaste that invites another sip.
