The young 2022 Brezo Godello has some 10% Do?a 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.

The expressive white 2020 Brezo Godello (which contains 10% Do?a Blanca) has notes of grape pulp and candied yellow fruit, wet sand and stones, full of personality and beyond the varietal aromas. It has moderate ripeness and alcohol (13%), keeping the freshness and balance. It's clean and tasty, finishing dry and serious. Much more than an entry-level Godello. It was kept in stainless steel with the fine lees until it was bottled in June 2021. 35,000 bottles produced.

Setting the tone for this collection of whites that have a strong personality and high quality, the 2019 Brezo Godello is a young and expressive that doesn't show the reductive personality of many of the early-bottled Godellos. This is supposed to be a wine of thirst, easy to drink, fruit-driven and with good acidity, but it goes well beyond that and shows character and typicity, with the textbook pippin apples, bay leaf and a bitter twist in the finish, showcasing the variety. Produced with grapes from a number of villages—Valtuille, Villafranca, Cacabelos, Carracedo, etc.—on clay-rich soils, it fermented with indigenous yeasts and was kept with the lees for six months. 30,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2020, and it's already quite harmonious.
