Bodegas Godeval

The Galician company Bodegas Godeval today produces its wines with the same enthusiasm and determination with which they began, 30 years ago, to recover the white Godello variety, under the Valdeorras denomination of origin. At its facilities, located in the historic setting of Xagoaza (O Barco), they began their project to recover the variety in the 1980s, using part of the medieval building of the Mosteiro de Xagoaza as a cellar and planting their own vineyards to control everything. the process and follow the maxim that 'wine is made in the vineyard'. With the passage of time and the need to continue serving the needs of its customers, it expanded its plantations and also its facilities. The new winery has been designed to become a viewpoint of the valley, where tradition and modernity come together.

This is how we started

Bodegas Godeval was founded in 1986 carrying out a first vinification to produce a single varietal wine based on grapes of the Godello variety. We started with 2 hectares of vineyards and producing 18,000 bottles of what is known as Viña Godeval. In 1988 we expanded production with the start-up of the winery inside what is known as “Mosteiro de Xagoaza”.

REVIVAL Project

In 1974, Horacio Fernández Presa, as regional head of the Agrarian Extension Office of the region, launched the REVIVAL Program. The central nucleus of the project consisted of the recovery of the native Godello variety. An entire information and training program was launched to make his recovery a reality.

Xagoaza Monastery

In 1988, restoration and refurbishment work began on the Monastery. A beautiful medieval complex to be converted into the Godeval winery.

The new winery

Currently the winery has the most modern winemaking technology in new facilities inaugurated in 2009. Annual production is 150,000 liters made from our own vineyards.
