Description
Conde del Pazo Godello 2025 is a fresh and expressive white wine produced by the Grupo Marqués del Atrio through its Faustino Rivero Ulecia winery in the Bierzo DO. A project born with the aim of demonstrating the enormous potential of the Godello variety in one of the most unique enclaves in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula.
Made with 100% Godello grapes from vineyards located near Quilós (Cacabelos, León), at an altitude of between 600 and 700 meters, on sandy-silty-clay soils with slate and limestone pebbles. This soil composition, together with the area's special microclimate—where the natural barrier of the Sierra de los Ancares calms Atlantic storms and creates a continental climate with an oceanic influence—promotes balanced ripening and gives the wine its characteristic freshness and minerality.
The winemaking is clean and respectful of the variety: direct pressing to preserve the delicacy of the aromas and controlled-temperature fermentation in stainless steel tanks, ensuring the maximum varietal expression of Godello. The result was awarded 90 pts Peñín in the 2024 vintage and a Gold Medal at the 2024 IWSA with 92 points.
It has a bright pale yellow color with golden reflections, clean and intense. On the nose, it is fruity and elegant: aromas of ripe white fruit such as green apple, pear, and peach, delicate floral notes, and a characteristic mineral background that evokes the slate soils of Bierzo. On the palate, it is broad, fresh, and balanced, with a smooth texture, well-integrated acidity that provides liveliness, and a long, slightly mineral finish. A Godello with an Atlantic profile and great food pairing potential.
Serving temperature: 8-10°C. Ideal with seafood, steamed fish, rice dishes, sushi, light pasta, vegetables, and fresh and semi-cured cheeses.
