'Almalarga' means large in spirit, and this Godello certainly has plenty of that. Made from 80 to 100 year old vines and given four months on the lees, with a distinctive Chablis-like personality from these steep vineyards on the banks of the Ribeira Sacra in Galicia. Fresh, precise and focused fruit with masses of character and a lovely texture for such a simple variety. Lively, mineral and fresh, a wine for drinking both on its own and with food. L&S (Jan 2013)

Adega Pena das Donas
The Ribera Sacra is an ancient land of valleys and monasteries, but the DO was only created in 1996, and this is the only Galician region which specialises in red wines, notably from the Mencia grape, as well as making beautifully crafted whites from Godello. Pena das Donas is a relatively new estate, although the five hectares of vineyards they have acquired on the incredibly steep, terraced banks of the meandering River Sil are between eighty and one hundred years old. These are among the best Godello and Mencia wines we have tasted, so pure and precise in their execution, making them truly world class.
