Bodegas Godeval was founded in 1986 and was the first winery to export Godello to the United States. In the 70’s, a program named RE.VI.VAL (Restructuring of the Vineyards of Valdeorras) was led by Horacio Fernandez Presa, founder and president of Godeval. During this time, vineyards of the indigenous and almost extinct Godello variety were rescued and replanted. These vineyards would eventually become the 17 hectares of estate plots for Bodegas Godeval. The winery is located in the stunning 12th century monastery of San Miguel of Xagoaza which was renovated and restored in 1988.

Bodegas Godeval Godello is a noble white wine with approximately 13 degrees of alcohol, single varietal, in which the Godello variety concentrates its characteristics shaped by the Atlantic climate with continental influence and by the slate soil in which the vines are planted. It is a young and aromatic wine, of which you will always order another glass! 

Godeval Godello is greenish-yellow color with pearlescent reflections. It has an excellent and pronounced aroma, it is intense, delicate, elegant and with hints of tree fruit. In the mouth it is light, soft and tasty. Its acidic and sweet touches give it balance and make it a very personal wine, with a pronounced structure.
