Crafted by Fraga do Corvo from Godello grown in the inland hills of Monterrei, this is a wine of freshness and texture, balancing ripe fruit with mineral precision. Notes of pear, apple and citrus are layered with a subtle herbal edge, leading into a crisp, medium bodied palate with lively acidity and a clean, gently rounded finish, making it a versatile partner for seafood, grilled fish, roast chicken or creamy rice dishes.

Monterrei, Spain – Godello
A modern Spanish white: fresh, textured and mineral. Ideal for those looking for an alternative to Albariño or Chardonnay with a little more weight.

Fraga do Corvo is part of a modern Galician movement focused on expressing the freshness and character of native varieties from inland regions. Working in Monterrei, the winemaking team takes a minimal intervention approach, allowing grapes like Mencía and Godello to show purity of fruit and a clear sense of place. The emphasis is on balance and drinkability, with gentle extraction for reds and careful handling for whites, resulting in wines that are vibrant, approachable and reflective of this lesser-known but increasingly exciting corner of Spain.

Godello (100%)

Godello is one of Spain’s most exciting white grapes, native to Galicia in the country’s north-west. Known for its ability to combine freshness with texture, it typically shows flavours of apple, pear and citrus alongside subtle herbal and mineral notes. Medium bodied with bright acidity, Godello can range from crisp and youthful to richer, more structured styles, often drawing comparisons with fine Chardonnay for its balance and ageing potential.

Monterrei - one of Galicia’s lesser-known but increasingly respected wine regions, located inland near the Portuguese border. Warmer and drier than coastal areas like Rías Baixas, it produces wines with a little more ripeness and body, while still retaining the freshness and precision that define north-west Spain.
