Description:

Godelia was born at the end of 2009 as the dream of García Rodríguez family to develop the viticulture in El Bierzo and create value and a future for the region. Located in the Northwest of Spain, in the town of Pieros (Cacabelos,León), Godelia take on a commitment with the region recovering and taking care of the old Mencía, Godello and Doña Blanca vines to produce our wines. Responsible viticulture is key for the winery’s philosophy, working with vegetation covers in the soils, producing an active soil with microbial life. Godelia almost owns 50 hectares of vineyards with the age of the vines ranging between 25 to 100 years old and they settled down on slate, pebbles, quartzes and clays soils.

Tasting Note:  This is a unique blend of Godello and Dona Blanca selected from 80 year old vines. The wine is aged in steel on the fine lees for 5 months with regular battonage for texture. This wine has great personality with intense fruit and complexity. Notes of ripe fleshy stone fruits and white flowers are prominent. There is a creamy and fruity palate, with elegant mineral and saline notes. The acidity leaves a fresh and persistent finish.
