"Founded in 1987, Godeval not only resurrected the ruins of the 12th century Monastery of San Miguel de Xagoaza, where the winery is located, but also resurrected the all but forgotten ancient varietal, Godello. The estate owned vineyards are located high on a ridge that dominates the valley. The slate soils lends a unique minerality to this crisp white wine which is a perfect accompaniment for seafood and fresh shellfish." Winery Notes
"Green-tinged gold. Pungent, expressive bouquet evokes peach pit, almond, tarragon and white pepper. Deep, chewy pit and orchard fruit flavors are complemented by hints of spice and dried flowers, with the tarragon note repeating on the finish. This wine could stand up to strongly flavored foods. (Fine Estates from Spain, Dedham, MA)"- Josh RaynoldsInternational Wine Cellar 89 points
"The 2008 Vina Godeval was fermented and aged in stainless steel. Light gold-colored with an earth/mineral and melon-scented bouquet; on the palate it is creamy-textured with excellent depth and balance. Drink this excellent value over the next 3 years."Wine Advocate 90 points
