Godello white wine

The best white wines made from the Godello variety

The godello grape is undoubtedly the star of the white wine renaissance in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula. If you seek a wine with the vibrant acidity of an albariño but with the creaminess and body typically found in a chardonnay, the wines in this selection will captivate you.

Primarily originating from the slopes of Valdeorras, Bierzo, and Ribeira Sacra, godello is renowned for its ability to express the terroir and its noble quality that allows it to age in barrels with spectacular results.

What wine profile will you discover?

The wines in this category span a fascinating spectrum:

  • Young and mineral whites: ideal if you seek purity. These are sharp wines, with notes of white fruit and a saline touch that invites continued drinking.

  • Wines aged on lees: here, godello flexes its muscles. It becomes glyceric, silky, and with an aromatic complexity reminiscent of the great whites of Burgundy, yet with an unmistakable Atlantic identity.

Wineries and reference names

In our list, you will find the creators who have brought this variety to the finest wine lists worldwide:

  • Rafael Palacios: a visionary in Valdeorras whose wines, such as Louro or the iconic As Sortes, have elevated godello to cult status.

  • Raúl Pérez: in Bierzo, with labels like Ultreia, demonstrates the elegance and extreme finesse this grape can achieve.

  • Valdesil: essential for understanding the potential of old vineyards on slate soils.

  • Emilio Moro: with his projects in Bierzo (La Revelía, El Zarzal), offering a modern and well-balanced vision of the variety.

Whether for enjoying a sophisticated aperitif or accompanying fatty fish, rice dishes, and white meats, a godello white wine is always a choice that surprises with its personality and elegance.
