Casal Novo
Casal Novo produces wine in Valdeorras, a subregion of Galicia in northwestern Spain known for its distinctive mineral whites. The winery focuses on Godello, the region's signature variety—a grape that thrives in Valdeorras' slate-rich soils and delivers wines of crisp acidity and stone-fruit character. The Godello from Casal Novo has drawn attention from Wine Enthusiast and Decanter. Valdeorras' cool climate and high elevation create conditions that preserve aromatic intensity and freshness in the glass, qualities central to the region's identity. The winery's commitment to this single varietal reflects both the terroir's strengths and the growing recognition of Galician Godello as a serious expression of Atlantic-influenced Spanish viticulture.
