The name literally translates to \"Valley of Gold,\" a nod to its ancient Roman mining history. Today, the true treasure found along the steep, terraced banks of the River Sil is world-class winemaking. This rugged, high-altitude landscape is defined by its striking slate and granite soils, providing the perfect foundation for producing incredibly energetic and expressive \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"509\"\u003eGalician wines\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eThe absolute star of the region is the \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"39\"\u003eGodello\u003c\/b\u003e grape. While the coastal areas are famous for Albariño, Valdeorras is the undisputed home of this brilliant white variety.

These reds are vibrant, lively, and packed with flavours of crushed red berries, wild herbs, and a subtle earthy character.
