In the glass

Medium-bodiedLow tanninHigh acidityDryLong finish

Aroma: fresh grass, lime peel, stone fruit, white flowers

Palate: pastry cream, pineapple, gentle unctuousness, saline mineral edge

Barrel warmth against Godello's natural coolness: grass, lime peel and stone fruit, then a creamy, mineral palate that grows towards pineapple as it warms.

What it pairs with

  • Hake in green sauce
    The saline mineral edge matches the parsley and clam broth.
  • Scallops with cauliflower
    Barrel-derived cream sits with the shellfish sweetness.
  • Roast chicken
    There is enough weight and unctuousness to hold a whole roast bird.
  • Ripe goat cheese
    High acidity resets the palate between bites.

History

The white in Raúl Pérez's Ultreia range, made to show Godello's freshness alongside the texture that barrel work brings. It is one of the more widely exported wines in the range.

Frequently asked about Ultreia Godello

What does Ultreia Godello taste like?

Intense on the nose with fresh grass, lime peel and stone fruit, then white flowers after a few minutes in the glass. The palate is savoury and gently unctuous, turning towards pastry cream and pineapple as it warms, with a long dry finish.

When should I drink Ultreia Godello?

Drink between two and eight years from vintage, served around 10 degrees Celsius so the mineral side stays audible.

What food pairs with Ultreia Godello?

Hake in green sauce, scallops with cauliflower, or a plain roast chicken.

How long is Ultreia Godello aged?

It is fermented and aged in barrel, which is what gives the wine its creamy texture without covering the fruit.
