Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The white 2023 Ededia has more ripeness and 13.5% alcohol, reflecting the southern exposition of the vines. It's a Godello from a single 39-year-old plot on clay and limestone soils. It fermented and matured in 500-liter French oak barrels and has power and elegance, concentration and balance. It has a tender and round palate with a fine-boned mouthfeel and a dry, chalky and serious finish. It is balanced to age nicely. It's not a shy white; it hits 14.1% alcohol but keeps good freshness and balance. 1,920 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2025.

Description
From its roots in the Valdeorras D.O., Viña Somoza Ededia is born, a pure expression of the old Godello grown in the emblematic Serra da Enciña da Lastra. The idea of making this wine arose from a bold gesture: to rescue a plot of vines over 40 years old on the Treval hillside, at an altitude of 450 metres above sea level, on dry limestone soils. A corner where only oak and stone seem to thrive. The winemaker, a staunch defender of the landscape, wanted to capture an austere elegance, born of the essential. The story goes that an unexpected storm forced the grapes to be harvested at dawn, a decision that imbued the wine with an atypical freshness for a warm vintage. This is how Viña Somoza Ededia was born, 100% Godello, extracted from a micro-terroir that speaks softly but firmly.
Winemaking
The production of Viña Somoza Ededia begins with a manual harvest in 15 kg boxes, carefully selecting each cluster. The grapes undergo cold maceration for 48 hours, followed by gentle pressing and natural static racking. Viña Somoza Ededia is fermented with indigenous yeasts in 500-litre French oak barrels. Subsequently, the wine rests on its fine lees for 10 to 14 months, which gives it texture and depth. In some vintages, it is aged for a few months in stainless steel tanks, helping to preserve its mineral tension and natural freshness.
Taste
Viña Somoza Ededia is a subtle golden colour in the glass. On the nose, it offers notes of ripe white fruit, quince and a chalky minerality that evokes wet stone. Nothing is strident, everything moves in sober registers. On the palate, it is oily but with nerve: crisp acidity and salinity structure a firm, almost athletic passage. The finish is long, with echoes of lime, camomile and chalk. A white wine for lovers of minerality rather than exuberant fruit, ideal for seafood, oily fish and cured cheeses.
This wine does not seek to please everyone. It is an exercise in terroir, a Godello that reflects without make-up the character of Valdeorras: altitude, stone and restraint. Viña Somoza Ededia is a silent jewel, designed for those who enjoy tension, verticality and depth without artifice.
