Godeval

Galician Godello specialist from Valdeorras, rated by major critics.

Godeval produces Godello wines from Valdeorras, a subregion of Galicia in northwestern Spain. Godello, the region's signature white variety, yields wines of mineral precision and aromatic complexity—a counterpoint to the broader Spanish white wine landscape. The winery's portfolio centers on expressions of this single grape. Cepas Vellas Godello and 1986 Godello rank among its most highly rated releases, both scoring in the low 91-point range across prestige critics including Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, and Decanter. Revival Godello extends the range at a slightly lighter critical assessment. These wines reflect Valdeorras' cool climate and slate-rich soils, conditions that define the region's character. Godeval's focus on Godello—rather than diversification across varietals—positions the winery as a specialist in a grape that has gained recognition beyond its traditional Galician home.
