Bodegas Avancia "Cuvee de O" Godello, 2023

Spain, (Valdeorras DO)

100% Godello

14.5%

* Certified Organic

 

Bodegas Avancia sits high above the Sil River in Valdeorras, working slate-rich soils that channel minerality into their wines. Their Cuvée de O Godello is crafted from head-trained, organic vines planted between 1940 and 1970. The grapes are gently handled—partially destemmed, whole clusters included in pressing. Fermentation is 80% in stainless steel and 20% in used puncheons/demi-muids, with sur-lie ageing for ~8 months. Malolactic fermentation is blocked to retain clarity and lift. 

 

TASTING NOTES: Pale straw with green highlights. The nose presents citrus blossom, lime, green apple, and wet stone. On the palate it’s textured but crisp—zesty citrus, tropical hints, saline minerality, and a creamy mid-palate. The finish is fresh, precise, and mineral-driven. 

 

FOOD PAIRINGS: Works beautifully with shellfish (oysters, scallops,) grilled fish, ceviche, white meat with lemon-herb sauces, and fresh goat cheeses.
