The wines of the Rías Baixas appellation can justifiably boast of their richness; not just because of the aromas and flavours that they exhibit but also through the sensations and images they conjure up. They are wines full of evocation, recalling on the one hand the character of the Atlantic climate and its unique land, and on the other, an unforgettable collection of happy moments you had enjoying them.

One of the special features of the Rías Baixas appellation is its careful merging of the best of what tradition offers with the latest technological advances. The result is a product of excellent quality, thanks to painstaking work in the vineyards and meticulous precision in the vinification. Throughout the length and breadth of the Rías Baixas appellation numerous wineries have opted for innovative and cutting edge methods of wine production. The result is wines of a high level of quality which have undergone strict controls by the Rías Baixas Control Board. These samples undergo analyses and are submitted to a tasting commission. Only wines which pass all of these tests can proudly claim to be part of the Rías Baixas appellation.

The wine of the Rías Baixas appellation is a symbol of today’s society in Galicia. It is modern and easy-drinking with a whole range of subtle flavours; it has huge personality and an easily defined character that includes a pale straw colour, floral, fruity aromas and a very fine lingering finish.

Rías Baixas wines are well established on international markets and have won the highest awards in the most prestigious professional wine challenges. The specific tasting characteristics of Rías Baixas wines make them a must for pairings not only with seafood and fish dishes, but also with a wide range of Atlantic and Mediterranean food, as well as the most modern gastronomic and fusion cuisine.

Our wines are the product of a unique land made up of intertwining valleys and coastal areas bathed by the Atlantic Ocean. They are grown in a gentle, mild climate with enough rain to ensure a permanently green landscape and with a generous amount of sunshine hours to give the grapes the warmth and light they need to reach full ripeness.

The Rías Baixas appellation covers five sub-zones:Val do Salnés, Condado do Tea, O Rosal,Soutomaior, Ribeira do Ulla.

The cornerstone of the Rías Baixas appellation is the Albariño grape variety, which currently makes up 94% of the vineyards registered in the appellation. Controversy surrounds the question of where the Albariño originally came from. Some claim with good reason that it originated in Galicia. However, there are also theories that it was the monks of Cluny in France who first cultivated it in this region, while others believe it was brought here in the 11th century by Raymond of Burgundy.

Other indigenous grape varieties are grown in the Rías Baixas appellation, such as Loureira Blanca (or Marqués), Treixadura, Caiño Blanco, Torrontés and Godello. Some red grape varieties are also produced, such as Caiño Tinto, Espadeiro, Loureira Tinta, Sousón, Mencía, Pedral and Brancellao
