2024 Vinos de Arganza Vina Seculo Godello

Clean citrus and orchard fruit notes lead to lemon zest, green apple, and ripe pear, with floral highlights. On the palate, the wine is fresh and medium-bodied, with firm acidity keeping everything fresh. The mid-palate lends texture and a strong focus on fresh fruits balanced by starfruit citrus. These just-ripe fruit flavors mirror the nose, balanced by crisp acidity and a restrained, dry finish.

(2023 vintage) "Stones, gooseberries, star fruit and touches of herbs and cream. Tangy and bright, with a medium body and a minerally, expressive finish. Drink now." - James Suckling

Vinos de Arganza is a dynamic young winery in Toral de los Vados just south of Villafranca del Bierzo in the heart of the Bierzo region. It was established in 2000 when it produced its first young wines, followed by its first Crianza and Reserva in 2003. It is a family-run winery owned by Victor Robla, a well-respected and devoted winemaker in Bierzo. They own 20 hectares of their own vineyards and hold long-term contracts with selected vineyard owners. Alongside his wife, Angeles Varela, whose family has winemaking roots dating back to the 15th century, the main objective of the winery is to make the most of the terroir, producing wines from the fruit of old vines while utilizing both modern and traditional methods to create wines of both old and new world characteristics.
