Virgen del Galir, Regueirón, Valdeorras, Galicia, 2018

CVNE, the winery of Rioja fame, invested heavily in Valdeorras to harness the potential of the Godello grape. This wine is its first single-vineyard example, setting the bar very high indeed. Very clean, with zesty and white-fruit aromas, quite powerful, rich and very expressive. An ambitious wine – and an interesting alternative to the mineral styles of other top wines in the appellation.
