Bodegas Valderroa 2004 Pezas da Portela White (Valdeorras)
- $35
Pezas is the Meursault of Valdeorras. It starts with a smoky, slate-driven nose and then opens to reveal pear, green apple and vanilla flavors. Shows excellent backbone courtesy of refined but powerful acidity. One of Galicia’s few ageworthy whites; good through at least 2008.

Bodegas Valderroa 2004 Pedrouzos 1.5L Godello (Valdeorras)
- $80
From extremely old Godello vines, this barrel-fermented wine comes only in magnums. It’s currently showing a lot of oak, but it’s also extremely well structured. It has an acid backbone that nobody could crack. Very serious, with intense apple, pear and minerality. Much like a fine Burgundy.

Bodegas Valderroa 2004 Val de Sil Godello (Valdeorras)
- Editors' Choice
- $18
This wine shows the potential and power of Valdeorras Godello, but at a fair price. It has a lot of minerality and acidity, but also a boatload of kiwi, green apple, papaya and white pepper. Unconventional for Spanish white wines and very much worth a look.

Bodegas Valderroa 2005 Montenovo Godello (Valdeorras)
- Best Buy
- $10
Crisply made, with a strong emphasis on green apples. This is a zesty, flinty white made for warm-weather drinking. Despite being 100% Godello it has a lot in common with Sauvignon Blanc.
