One of the best-value wines in our portfolio, Mengoba’s entry white is a blend of 85% Godello and 15% Doña Blanca, sourced from a variety of Bierzo’s highland vineyards. The Godello is drawn mostly from a stony Carracedo site, as well as from some sandy loam and clay/limestone plots in Valtuille and Villafranca del Bierzo. The Doña Blanca hails from similar sites, and includes some older, gobelet material from the slate soils of Espanillo. The age of the vines sits between 20 and 80 years, and all the fruit is harvested by hand, which is remarkable when you consider the price. The wine fermented with wild yeasts and was raised on its fine lees in tank and large cask for six months.

Gregory Pérez’s white wines have never tasted as pure and energetic as they do today. The new release is a superbly tangy wine offering an array of pulpy citrus, wet stone and spearmint flavour and finishing with a juicy, mineral quality. It’s a cracking bargain from some of Spain’s most spectacular vineyards.

Reviews

"The young 2022 Brezo Godello has some 10% Doña Blanca, all sourced from different vineyards in different villages and soils. It has moderate alcohol for a warm year (12.5%) and very good parameters of freshness and acidity. It fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and was kept with the lees that were not stirred until bottling. It's pale and fruit-driven with notes of apples, pears, apricots and white flowers. It has a light palate with clean flavors and a balanced mouthfeel. 42,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2023."
