Godello Origen 2024 D.O. Ribeira Sacra

Godello Origen 2024 from D.O. Ribeira Sacra is a bright, Atlantic-influenced white that captures the freshness and minerality of Galicia’s dramatic river valleys. Crafted from 100% Godello by Bodegas Casa de Outeiro, it’s designed to be expressive, vibrant and immensely drinkable in its youth. As part of the estate’s ORIGEN range, this wine pays tribute to the property’s six centuries of history while showcasing a modern, precise style of winemaking.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Godello Origen 2024 shows a pale lemon color with greenish highlights, signaling its youth and freshness. The nose is lifted and aromatic, with notes of green apple, crisp pear and white peach layered over lemon zest, wild herbs and a distinct mineral, stony edge. Subtle floral hints—think white blossom and chamomile—add finesse, while a gentle whisper of oak influence may present as vanilla cream or sweet spice in the background. On the palate, this is a clean, medium-bodied Godello with a spine of lively acidity that keeps everything focused and refreshing. Citrus and orchard fruits lead the way, joined by hints of fennel, saline notes and a light, creamy texture that rounds the mid-palate without weighing it down. The finish is long for the style, driven by chalky, slate-like minerality and a mouthwatering, slightly savory twist. Enjoyable immediately on release, it will reward short-term cellaring, drinking best over the next 3–5 years while its fruit remains vibrant and its mineral character continues to unfold.

Production
The grapes for Godello Origen 2024 come from Casa de Outeiro’s terraced vineyards in the Quiroga valley in Ribeira Sacra, around 350 meters above sea level. Here, steep slopes and varied soils—slate, quartzite and the local clay-rich “terras roxas”—contribute both tension and depth to the wine. The Atlantic-influenced climate, with cool nights and moderate daytime temperatures, helps preserve acidity and aromatic intensity in the Godello grapes. Harvest is typically carried out by hand due to the dramatic, terraced landscape, allowing for careful selection of healthy, optimally ripe bunches. In the cellar, gentle pressing and temperature-controlled fermentation aim to protect the variety’s delicate aromatics, with part of the wine seeing brief time in oak or on fine lees to add subtle texture and complexity while keeping the style firmly fresh, light and fruit-forward—true to the ORIGEN line’s philosophy.

Food & Serving
Godello Origen 2024 is a versatile partner for a wide range of dishes, particularly those that highlight freshness and clean, maritime flavors. Pair it with shellfish (clams, mussels, razor clams), simply grilled white fish, octopus, or Galician-style pulpo with olive oil and paprika. It also works beautifully with sushi and sashimi, lightly spiced Asian cuisine, lemon-roasted chicken, mild goat cheeses and vegetable dishes such as grilled asparagus or artichoke risotto. Serve well-chilled, ideally at 8–10°C, to emphasize its crispness and aromatic lift. Decanting is not essential, but pouring it into a good white-wine glass and giving it a few minutes in the glass will help the mineral and floral notes to open up.

Producer
Bodegas Casa de Outeiro is located in the Galician subregion of Quiroga-Bibei, at the heart of Spain’s Ribeira Sacra, an area renowned for its spectacular, terraced vineyards along steep river valleys. Although the winery in its current form was founded in 2019, the estate itself carries a legacy spanning six centuries, recently revitalized under the ownership of the noble Maseda Fole family. Led by Mercedes, the family’s heir, the project combines a deep respect for history with a forward-looking approach to quality and innovation. Of the 32-hectare property, 24 hectares of vines are cultivated on dramatic terraces, focusing on the flagship local varieties Mencía and Godello. Casa de Outeiro has rapidly gained recognition for its three distinct ranges—ORIGEN, ESCUDO and HISTÓRICO—and for its commitment to the local community, as well as its collaborations with noted oenologists such as Mauricio Lorca and David Pascual. The result is a collection of wines that both honor the estate’s historic roots and highlight Ribeira Sacra’s emerging status as one of Spain’s most exciting cool-climate regions.
