General Information
The great boom experienced by Valdeorras wines in recent years has been largely linked to the recovery of their star white grape, godello, and creations like this Valdesil Godello Sobre Lías 2023 that the Club brings to you.
Bodegas Valdesil manages to extract all the potential of this native variety from the D.O. Valdeorras in a white wine that is undoubtedly its most emblematic. Complex, aromatic, and with a mineral touch, Valdesil Godello Sobre Lías 2023 reflects the slate slopes by the Sil river from which it comes.
Tasting notes
Valdesil Godello Sobre Lías exhibits a straw yellow color.
On the nose, it is very fruity (citrus and stone fruits) with elegant mineral, herbal, and white flower touches, over a balsamic background.
On the palate, it is silky, balanced, and full.
The winery
Valdesil has been one of the key players in the recovery of Godello in Galicia, an excellent native variety capable of competing in quality with any white grape in our country. The winery, located in Córgomo, in the municipality of Vilamartín de Valdeorras in Ourense, has uniquely harnessed the slate slopes of the region, which are responsible for the unmistakable minerality of the wines from this area.
Valdesil is owned by the third generation of the Prada Gayoso family, a family with a long winemaking tradition that, just over a decade ago, decided to recover all the "pezas" (plots) of Godello that had belonged to them in the past. In just a few years and through hard work, the winery has established itself as one of the most important wine producers in the D.O. Valdeorras, with its influence extending to Bierzo with remarkable success. The responsibility for the winery's production lies with the Prada Gayoso family, supported externally by Cristina Mantilla in oenology and José Ramón Lissarrague in viticulture.
