Bodegas Godelia is a family-owned winery in the El Bierzo region of Spain. Focusing on sustainable viticulture, the winery primarily works with the native Mencía and Godello varieties. The Mencía grape, a unique variety, allows Godelia to produce fresh, fruity wines and more complex, mineral-driven expressions. 'Viernes' Mencía originates from old vineyards spread across different locations, offering rich flavors of red fruit, violets, and mineral notes, further enhanced by 12 months of aging in French oak barrels. The oak imparts additional complexity, contributing layers of coffee and vanilla. Medium-bodied, this wine boasts a smooth texture, balanced acidity, and soft tannins, resulting in a refined, elegant finish—a wine to open in a moment of comfort, scooping a heartwarming beef stew.
