Description
 
Bodegas Avancia was established in 2007 and is a project created by Jorge Ordoñez in partnership with Bodegas Godeval. The winery is located in the mountainous Autonomous Community of Galicia. The Valdeorras appellation, and more specifically the native Godello grape variety, has an interesting history, in which Jorge Ordoñez has played a major part. The Godello grape variety is rarely found outside of Valdeorras and nearly went extinct when local farmers abandoned their land for the cities in tough times. It was a pair of government employees working in the area who decided to try to save the local vineyards by developing high quality wines, which were very distinct from those grown elsewhere in Spain. Their plantings of an experimental 16-hectare plot of Godello vines eventually led to the creation of Bodegas Godeval. Jorge Ordoñez became infatuated with these Godellos and was the first to introduce the Godello grape variety to the United States in the early 1990s. Jorge became the ‘patron saint’ for this mysterious variety and for many years, he was the only US importer offering these unique wines. Jorge always dreamt of having his own Godello project, and in 2007, Bodegas Avancia became the realization of this dream.

The ambitious 2019 Godello Old Vines comes in a huge bottle and was produced with the grapes from one vineyard in the village of O Barco and another one in Petín. The juice fermented without malolactic in 500- and 600-liter oak barrels, 15% of them new, and had an élevage of five months with fine lees and bâtonnage. It's spicy and smoky, clearly marked by the élevage, with a somewhat Burgundian profile intermixed with balsamic notes and the volume and freshness of the Godello and the vintage, with a bitter twist, which is one of the signature signs of Godello. Modern, clean, balsamic. There were 11,400 bottles produced. Because they had a small crop in 2018, it was bottled earlier than normal.Wine Advocate 91+
