Godello is a Spanish grape that deserves more recognition. The Bodegas Avancia Godello is ample evidence of the variety’s potential. Drawn from century-old vines on the steep, slate slopes above the River Sil in northwestern Spain, the wine will please your senses with luscious aromas and flavors. Scents of lemon, lime, apple and peach are enhanced by floral and herb elements. On the palate, the juicy citrus fruits and interwoven with subtle oak, herb and floral nuances. The wine has a rich texture, reflecting the low yields and ancient vines of the region. Serve it with your favorite roast chicken recipe or flavorful seafood dishes.
