The wine
critic of the American publication The New York Times, Eric Asimov, surrenders
to the peculiarities of the Godello variety, extolling the virtues of the wines
made from this variety and considering this as the great range for the future
of Spanish white wines internationally.
Major critics of American wine world and of remarkable global impact in the
sector, have echoed the awakening of the indigenous variety of Valdeorras, the
godello, as the great promise of Spain in the international wine scene.
Emphasizing the area that characterized the
wine, a tasting group, formed by four of the most famous American wine critics
(Florent Fabricant, Kerin Auth, Michael Madrigale and Eric Asimov) have
evaluated 20 white wines of various regions made from Godello.
Among them, five wines produced by wineries of
Valdeoras have been highlighted in the Top 10, especially the A Coroa Godello
2010 wine, which has stood out with
great notoriety.
A Coroa Godello 2010 has topped the list of
the Godello wines evaluated in New York Godello, with the following tasting
notes: "Deep, savory and distinctive, with a succulent lip-smacking texture and tropical fruit flavors" being described as: "This wine did not merely represent potential; it was potential realized"
In a framework in which the godello varieties
were from areas such as Monterrei, Ribera Sacra, Bierzo and, of course,
Valdeorras, the Godeval Godello 2010, Guitián 2010, As Sortes 2008 and Ladera
Sagrada 2010 have joined the Godello A Coroa to conform the list of major
godellos of the DO Valdeorras sold in the U.S. market, at the discretion of
these well-known specialists.
