Ondas Del Alma Godello | Monterrei, Spain

£16.50

A fine quality Godello from Monterrei – a DO wine region  located in the south east corner of Galicia, bordering Portugal.

It is made at Pazo do Mar’s winery Adegas Pazo das Tapias – founded in 2006 when the Mendez family acquired the winery and the vineyard Las Tapias. Pazo das Tapias is located in the middle of its own vineyard, probably the best vineyards of the Monterrei D.O. in seniority and importance of the varietal.

A Decanter tasting panel in December 2023 commented “… Galician whites must surely be among the best performers across all price points. It is interesting to note that three of the wines awarded 90 points are under £15 (rrp)… there is still value to be found.” This is one of them.
