General Information
Godello goes into making some of the best Spanish whites. This variety, typical of the northwest of the country, was on the verge of disappearing only a few decades ago but has fortunately made a strong comeback. Because it’s got everything: aromatic intensity, structure and ageing potential. Señorío del Bierzo Godello 2023 is a sure bet that comes from one of the most important wineries of the D.O. Bierzo. And it’s made exclusively for Vinoselección.
This white was grown on old, gobelet-trained vines between 45 and 55 years old that are cultivated on hillsides with clayey soils with slate. Harvesting was carried out manually. The grapes were cold macerated for 8 hours, followed by alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel vats for 10 days and ageing on the fine lees for 3 months.
Señorío del Bierzo Godello 2023 (D.O. Bierzo) is ideal with rice with rabbit and vegetables or chicken casserole.
