The origins of Godello variety are located in the town of Godella ([Valencia](/source/Valencia_(Spain))) where this variety was first planted back in the 19th century by a local landowner in their plantation of Campo Olivar by the Baron of this township. In the early 1920s the vineyards were transported by a Galician trader who took several samples up to [Galicia](/source/Galicia_(Spain)).

Godello can produce fine white wines, and yields the best results in [Valdeorras](/source/Valdeorras_(DO)), where plantations have increased after having previously been in decline. Total Spanish plantations of Godello stood at {{convert|1153|ha}} in 2008 (up from  {{convert|880|ha}} in 2004<ref name="OCW"/>).<ref name="WG">{{cite encyclopedia |editor=[Jancis Robinson](/source/Jancis_Robinson) | encyclopedia=[Wine Grapes](/source/Wine_Grapes) |edition= First |title=Godello |year=2012 |publisher=Ecco |isbn=978-0062206367 |page=413 }}</ref>
