In the heartof the Salnes Valley, this special area of northwest Spain is making someof the country s most interesting white wines.
This valley, inhabited for thousands of years by the Celts, Phoenicians and Romans, naturally favors wine growing.

Today the Salnes Valley forms part of the famous Rias Baixas

small temperature variations are combined with sandy loam soils of granite origin that are lightly acidic. It is this secret formula that helps create the valley’s famous wines.
This coastal area has proven itself the perfect place to fully develop the potential of the Albarino variety s seductive aromas and flavors, thanks to fertile soils and a gentle climate where the vines grow fanned by cool Atlantic breezes.
