The 2017 Avancia, Godello "Old Vines" Valdeorras was a Merchant's Pick
Pairs with seafood, seafood, and seafood!

If Spain made a cru white Burgundy, this would be it!
If the Godello varietal doesn't jump out at you that's because the varietal was nearly extinct 30 years ago.
What a comeback!
This is the best expression of Godello we have ever tasted.
You have to compare it to a French white to appreciate its depth and nuance. Only then can one appreciate its value as it is rare to find great white Burgundies at this price point.
"The old vine cuvée is the 2017 Godello, which is 100% Godello... has a touch of green in its light gold color and gives up loads of crushed citrus, tart pineapple, and salty minerality. Beautifully textured, medium to full-bodied, multi-dimensional, and incredibly layered on the palate, it has bright acidity and an awesome finish." Jeb Dunnuck
What We Love About This Wine
Get your favorite seafood from your local fishmonger!
This beautiful white has excellent cut and length, leaving talcy minerals behind. The texture is out of this world. It is a pleasure to enjoy with food.
We can't get enough of the musky pear, apple, herb, and spring flower notes. A hint of orange peel on the finish gives way to a slight hint of Burgundian toasty oak.
Absolutely delicious. Extremely limited. A must-have.
While supplies last.
Enjoy!
