Godello

  • Dominio do Bibei Ribeira Sacra Godello Lapena 2014

Godello is a white grape variety primarily grown in the Galicia region of northwest Spain, particularly in the Valdeorras and Bierzo areas. It produces medium to full-bodied wines with flavors of green apple, pear, and a touch of minerality. The ABV for Godello wines typically ranges from 12-14%. Its popularity is due to its ability to produce fresh, elegant wines that reflect the unique terroir of Galicia.

The cool, Atlantic-influenced climate and diverse soils of Galicia provide ideal conditions for Godello, allowing the grape to retain its natural acidity and develop complex flavors. Godello is often used to produce both young, vibrant wines and more structured, age-worthy versions. Its versatility in winemaking and its ability to express the characteristics of its growing region have made Godello a favorite among winemakers and wine enthusiasts seeking distinctive and high-quality white wines.
