Godello is a white grape variety native to the Galician region of northwestern Spain. It has been cultivated for centuries and is the primary grape of the Valdeorras denomination of origin. The variety produces elegant, mineral-driven white wines with excellent aging potential.
Flavors & Aromas
Citrus, green apple, stone fruit, white flowers, and distinctive mineral or saline notes. Wines often display herbal undertones and a crisp, refreshing character.
Winemaking & Aging
Godello produces medium-bodied wines with good acidity and complexity. The grapes develop thick skins that contribute to the wine's structure and aging ability. Wines can age gracefully for 5-10 years or more, developing deeper flavors and greater complexity with bottle age. The variety is known for its ability to express terroir, particularly in slate-rich soils.
