If you’ve only ever tried Godello from Valdeorras, this one from neighbouring Bierzo is a lovely surprise. It’s a white I keep pressing on customers who think they only like Albariño, and it wins them over every time: textured and characterful, yet still fresh and precise.
The grapes come from old, low-yielding bush vines around the village of San Lorenzo in the Valdueza valley, just outside Ponferrada. Everything is picked by hand, and in the cellar they keep things gentle: a cool soak, fermentation in small stainless steel tanks, then around eight months resting on the lees in concrete and large, older French oak foudres. The big old wood adds texture rather than oaky flavour, so the fruit and that mineral Bierzo character really shine.
In the glass it’s pale straw with golden glints. The nose has lemon and grapefruit, white flowers, pear and stone fruit, with a smoky, flinty edge. On the palate it’s round and ripe but kept wonderfully lively by fresh acidity, finishing long and slightly salty.
Brilliant with grilled octopus, hake in green sauce, roast chicken or a creamy rice with mushrooms. It also stands up to soft goat’s cheese.
