WINE DESCRIPTION
Castelo do Papa Godello is a premium white wine from Bodega Ladera Sagrada, located in the Valdeorras region of Galicia, Spain. This wine is made from Godello grapes grown in steep, terraced vineyards, benefiting from the area's high elevation and continental climate. The winemaking process involves careful grape selection, gentle pressing, and fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fruit's freshness and purity, along with lees contact to add texture. The result is a crisp, elegant, and racy wine with notes of citrus, white flowers, and wet rocks. It’s a must-try for any wine lover looking for a top-quality Spanish white wine.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Castelo do Papa Godello offers vibrant aromas of zesty grapefruit, delicate white flowers, and fresh green apple.On the palate, this medium-bodied white balances lively acidity with subtle creaminess from lees aging. It pairs beautifully with grilled seafood, light salads, and creamy cheeses. For a regional touch, enjoy it with Galician octopus or shellfish rice. While delightful now, it can be cellared for up to a decade to allow its flavors to further develop. Versatile and sophisticated, this wine enhances any dining experience.
