White Wine Avancia Godello 2023
Availability: In stock
Driven by his passion for the Godello grape, one of Galicia's great white varieties, Jorge Ordóñez decided to produce white wines in DO Valdeorras with the aid of oenologist Nacho Álvarez.
An outstanding result of their effort is the wine Avancia Godello, a first-class Spanish white wine produced by Bodegas Avancia.
This wine is produced only from the oldest vines of the winery. Located at an altitude of 500 metres above sea level, they were planted at the very beginning of the XXth century.
Meticulously harvested and selected, the grapes went into 500 and 600-litre French oak barrels, where this white wine from Valdeorras was fermented with native yeasts.
After that, the wine Avancia Godello 2023 was aged on its lees for 10 months and bottled after a gentle filtration.
We recommend that you aerate this Galician white wine 1 hour before drinking.
Appearance | The white wine Avancia Godello is medium yellow with golden tinges. |
---|---|
Nose | This white wine from DO Valdeorras is complex and nuanced. Aromas of pineapple, mango and peach, along with intense floral and herbal notes over a remarkable, mineral-earthy background, typical of and old-vines Godello, and some subtle, refreshing notions of menthol. |
Palate | This white wine aged on lees is smooth textured, multi-layered and bright. White fruit and tropical fruit, with a note of honeysuckle and beeswax combined with some creamy hints and smoky nuances. This wine from Bodegas Avancia has a well-balanced acidity, and a long, mineral finish. |
Our personal opinion | The white wine Avancia Godello 2023 is one of the best examples of the depth and nuance that a Godello from Valdeorras is able to achieve. |
