Spain may be better known for its reds, but here we have a wonderful everyday-drinking white wine for you!

Nestled in the Valley of Gold, the 2021 Hacienda Ucedinos Godello from Bodega Eladio Santalla offers a great introduction to this popular Spanish variety. This Valdeorras region is renowned for its Godello and Mencia varietals, with the vineyards meticulously dry-grown to ensure quality and concentration. Marcos and Eladio, the brothers behind this boutique winery, craft their wines with a focus on refinement and balance, producing only limited quantities.

The cool 2021 vintage has imparted great acidity and a real delicacy to this Godello, with fermentation in tank helping to preserve its fresh, vibrant characteristics. It has intense but clean aromas of stone fruit, green apple and quince, with subtle floral and herbaceous notes. The palate is elegant and juicy, with balanced acidity and a refreshing minerality that lingers nicely.

A delightful expression of this region and variety, that perfectly complements the brothers’ culinary creations at their local restaurant should you find yourself in Valdeorras!
