Gargalo Godello Monterrei DO

Monterrei DO, Spain

Pure Godello from schist and granite soils in the Tamega valley; Monterrei's sheltered warmth gives this Godello more richness than its Valdeorras counterparts. White peach, almond, fennel, and citrus with textured weight from extended lees contact. The hidden treasure of Spanish Godello production.

Pairing intelligence

• starter: Galician pastry with Galician white; Godello's almond and citrus complement the briny cockles inside buttery empanada
• main: Classic Galicia pairing; Godello's texture and mineral depth are the natural partner to the wood-fired octopus tradition
• main: Monterrei Godello's weight and almond note navigate the salt cod's intensity while acidity cuts through the egg richness
