Godello

Godello is an exceptional white grape variety that hails from the northwest of Spain, especially the celebrated areas of Galicia and Bierzo. This grape produces elegant wines known for their fresh and mineral-driven character. In Portugal, it is referred to as Verdelho, while some regions call it Gouveio, highlighting its cross-border appeal.

Godello wines captivate with their bright flavors of green apple, ripe pear, and zesty citrus, often complemented by hints of tropical fruits, flowers, or herbs. They boast a smooth texture with a medium to full body, vibrant acidity, and a pleasantly long finish. Some styles may offer a touch of sweetness, adding to their versatility for various palates and occasions.

In Spain, Godello is sometimes blended with grapes like Albariño or Treixadura in Galicia and Palomino or Doña Blanca in Bierzo, creating distinctive regional expressions. As Verdelho in Portugal, it contributes to the production of Madeira’s celebrated fortified wines.

Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with seafood, salads, or light pasta dishes, Godello delivers a unique taste experience. Explore the depth and finesse of this exceptional white wine, and let it elevate your wine collection with its understated elegance.
