Godello is a fine white grape native to northwest Spain. It’s found primarily in Valdeorras—the easternmost wine region in Galicia, which is protected from the wild Atlantic winds by mountain ranges. This well-structured, dry wine has a lot of tension in it. Its nose is soft and light, with elegance and fruit, and has a palate that is light and easy with good dryness and a mouthwatering minerality. It’s great with heartier seafood (scallops, crab, halibut) but also with vegetables and lighter chicken dishes.
