D.O. Valdeorras (Galicia), Spain - 100% Godello.
Val do Galir Godello 2024 is one of the most representative expressions of the Godello variety in the Valdeorras Designation of Origin, one of the leading areas for this grape in Galicia. Made from vineyards located on the slopes of the Sil River valley, this wine reflects the unique combination of Atlantic climate with continental influence and the geological richness that characterizes the region.
The grapes come from plots situated on a combination of slate, schist, and granite soils, elements that contribute depth, tension, and a pronounced mineral character. Godello finds one of its most privileged natural habitats in Valdeorras, developing wines with a great balance between freshness, body, and the ability to express the terroir.
The harvest takes place at the optimal moment of ripeness to preserve the aromatic intensity and natural acidity of the variety. After careful selection of the grapes, fermentation is carried out at a controlled temperature to preserve all the fruit purity and aromatic precision. The lees aging process adds texture and complexity without detracting from the wine's characteristic freshness.
On the nose, it stands out for its aromas of fresh white fruit, apple, pear, and vineyard peach, accompanied by delicate floral notes and citrus nuances. As it evolves in the glass, mineral hints and light balsamic touches emerge, adding complexity.
On the palate, it is balanced and expressive, with a fresh entry, good breadth, and perfectly integrated acidity. The texture is enveloping, with a marked mineral sensation that provides depth and a long, clean, and elegant finish. Its profile combines approachability and complexity, making it an excellent representative of the potential of modern Godello.
Val do Galir Godello 2024 is a versatile and gastronomic wine that faithfully reflects the personality of Valdeorras, a region that has established itself as one of the great territories for quality white wines in Spain. Ideal for pairing with seafood, fish, rice dishes, traditional Galician cuisine, and medium-intensity cheeses.
