Valdeorras

About this region

An inland Galician region best known for reviving Godello into Spain's benchmark mineral white. Slate (and some granite) soils on river-valley slopes give whites of cut and texture, plus fresh Mencía reds. Continental but Atlantic-touched, it balances ripeness with acidity.
