With its cadre of old vines and magnificent highland terroirs, Valdesil has become a gold-standard source for Godello. Montenovo is this producer’s entry-level offering, crafted from massale selection vines propagated from the world’s oldest, ‘baddest’ Godello—the 130+-year-old vines of the Pedrouzos vineyard.
Fashioned from the estate’s younger vineyards spread across the slate-ridden Valdeorran villages of Rubiá, A Rúa, Larouco, Petín and O Bolo, this lays down a seriously impressive marker. Each soil type or plot is vinified separately and malo is suppressed.
