Making process
Aging
Val do Galir Godello 2025 has been aged for 5 months on fine lees in a combination of stainless steel tanks, Foudre and French oak barrels of 500 litres. This process adds greater volume, structure, and a more velvety texture.
Vineyard
Description
Val do Galir Godello 2025 is made solely from Godello grapes from the A Malosa vineyard, in the Don Fiz area, in Éntoma, where the vines are planted at an altitude between 400 and 600 metres on calcareous-loam and granite soils. This terroir, with its great soil diversity, adds complexity and a pronounced Atlantic personality to the wine, reflecting the most authentic character of Valdeorras.
Tasting notes
View
Val do Galir attracts the eye with its beautiful yellow-green colour and high brilliance.
Nose
On the nose, it is delicate, Atlantic, and mineral, with subtle floral notes, herbs typical of the undergrowth, and hints of fresh citrus fruits.
Mouth
The sensation in the mouth is vibrant, persistent, and silky, and the wine displays a magnificent structure and a pleasurable volume due to the work on the lees.
Creators' opinion
Val Do Galir llama la atención a la vista con su bonito color amarillo verdoso y muy brillante. En nariz es delicado, atlántico y mineral y muestra sutiles recuerdos florales, de hierbas propias del monte bajo y notas de cítricos frescos. La sensación en la boca es vibrante, persistente y sedosa y el vino despliega una magnífica estructura y un placentero volumen debido al trabajo sobre lías.
The winery
The origin of the winery Virgen del Galir (2002) is entirely family-based: it was founded by José Barros García who, together with his son David, has championed for years the magic of Valdeorras wines, both those made from godello and the -rarer- reds from mencía. The excellent work of the Barros family (in 2009 Robert Parker included one of their godellos in the top 100 best Spanish white wines under €25 and awarded it 90 points) caught the attention of the CVNE Group, which acquired the winery in 2017 with the aim of giving it the definitive push towards the pinnacle of Galician wines.
The Virgen del Galir winery is located in Éntoma, in O Barco de Valdeorras, in the eastern part of the province of Ourense. There it has 40 hectares of vineyards planted on terraces at over 600 m altitude, some of them old and inherited from previous generations of the Barros family.
