Product Description
Details

The wine Losada Godello is the only Spanish white wine produced by Bodega Losada Vinos de Finca.

Though it is indigenous to Galicia, the Godello variety is also present in DO Bierzo. There, it acquires a deeper, earthier character while preserving its trademark acidity. This is particularly the case when, as it happens with this white wine from El Bierzo, it is made from vines grown in slate soils.

As for the vinification process, the grapes were cold-macerated and fermented in stainless in steel tanks with its lees.

Then a 25% of Losada Godello 2023 was aged for 6 months in 500-litre French oak barrels, and the rest completed the process in the steel tanks. After that, the wine was blended and bottled.

As this wine shows, Godello is a many-sided grape variety.

Appearance

The white wine Losada Godello is medium yellow with some golden tinges.

Nose

Well-defined varietal aromas of white fruit and bone fruit, with hints of white flowers, a mineral core and a reminiscence of bitter herbs. This varietal Godello is complex and nuanced.

Palate

Smooth textured and focused, with a first-class acidity this wine from Losada Vinos de Finca is very pleasant on the palate, with notes of apples and peaches, a touch of citrus, and a long, mineral finish. 

Our personal opinion

The crisp Losada Godello 2023 pairs well with white meat, creamy cheeses and fish dishes.
