Sourced from one of the oldest, most traditional vineyards planted in Valdeorras, Avancia Godello expresses the authenticity the history of Valdeorras and the oldest Godello clones in the world. A completely unique white wine that ages beautifully and has been recognized by Robert Parker as Spain's best Godello. Godello was almost extinct at the end of the 1980's, so it is extremely rare to find a Godello produced from a single vineyard planted in 1904. 

VINEYARD: Finca Aeiroá (1939) – O Barco de Valdeorras – Pure slate soils intermixed with broken quartz, northern orientation – three field blend parcels planted adjacent to each other, primarily Godello with intermixed planting of indigenous red varieties. Northern orientation; Finca Porto Mourisco (1962) – Petín – Sandy granitic soils resulting of the decomposition of the mother rock, northern orientation. Northern orientation. Traditional dry farmed viticulture. Organic Gobelet trained vines. Cultivated completely by hand.

Ratings & Reviews

94 Points - Wine Enthusiast:
"
An immediately appealing nose opens up with vibrant green fruit and hints of white flowers. The first sip introduces an intriguing complexity, showcasing a sleek minerality and well-integrated acid profile. There is great energy and tension here, too, making this wine really hard to put down. - Brandon Borcoman (May 2025)

91 Points - Jeb Dunnuck:
"Recently bottled as well, the 2023 Avancia Godello Old Vines is a solid step up, with ripe citrus, honeyed white flowers, and chalky mineral-like aromas and flavors. It's beautifully balanced, has integrated acidity, and a clean, crisp, absolutely delicious style that will evolve for 4-5 years, if not longer. (Drink between 2024-2029)" (July 2024)
