Summary

Often described as Galicia's 'second' great white grape, Godello is capable of crafting some extraordinarily complex, textural wines, with a great capacity for ageing. Currently this variety is enjoying a moment in the sun amidst a surge in popularity, particularly in its spiritual home of Valdeorras. But this hasn't always been the case - 50 years ago this variety was almost completely extinct. In this interview, Justin catches up with Galician expert Noah Chichester to fill us in on the fascinating story of revival against the odds.
