Godello is a white wine grape planted in Galicia, Spain. On the verge of extinction, Godello was brought back in the 1970s, and now is one of the most popular white wine varieties. Godello wines produced in steel tanks have a crisp, fresh, and fruity with good mineral notes. Godello wines produced with oak are creamy on the palate, which is a direct result of contact with lees. The most notable characteristic of Godello wines is the wildflower flavor and a fuller body than most wines with the same mineral qualities. It is important not to confuse Godello with Verdelho. They are different grapes, but the same name is sometimes used. Godello is also known as Ojo de Gallo, Godenho, Agudelo, and Agodenho.
Pago de las Capellanes Blanco O Luar Do Sil Godello Sobre Lias is made from 100% Godello.
Giving voice to Godello vines, to the geology of granite and to the fullness of sensations. This is our vision and we achieve it with careful winemaking on lees, so that the wine’s own matter provides balance and floral complexity, so that it shapes a fine and vigorous structure, a stimulating delicacy.
The wine pays homage to its landscape, clean, fruity aromas that caress the mineral cold. Leading us along small paths among white flowers, Godello Sobre Lías reveals light, truth and life.
