Bodegas Madai Origen Godello 2023

Alcohol: 13%

Grape(s): Godello

Localization: D.O Bierzo, Castilla y León, Spain

Tasting Notes: Youthful, fresh, and elegant, Origen is Godello in its most direct form. As an aperitif or on the table with seafood, this wine stands out. The nose is lightly aromatic with a tart, citrus fruit profile that leans toward neutrality. Herbal and almond notes fill out the mid-palate before the mineral and acid drive home the finish.

Notes: Sustainably grown from estate and select local vineyards. Fermentation and 6 months sur lie aging in stainless steel. 

The Domain: Madai personifies everything we admire about small, generational Spanish producers. Under the care of brothers Gonzalo and Daniel Amigo, this tiny estate of fewer than 7 acres still boasts vines from the original Mencía and Godello plots, now over one hundred years old. Walking the vineyards is the quintessential old-world experience; the head-trained vines, on steep granite slopes, are dry-farmed and hand-tended without sprays. Dedicated entirely to Mencía and Godello, the interspersed plantings yield production of only a few thousand cases.
