One of the best-value wines in our portfolio, Mengoba’s entry-level white is a blend of 90% Godello and 10% Doña Blanca sourced from a range of Bierzo’s highland vineyards. The Godello is drawn mainly 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 native 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

“I tasted a very young bottle of the white 2023 Brezo Godello, which also contains 10% Doña Blanca, all from small plots in different villages. It fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and was kept with the lees until bottling. It's varietal, medicinal, balsamic and a little reductive, with notes of white fruit and bay leaf. It has ripeness and freshness and comes through as balanced, fruit-driven and easy to drink.”
