The pazo de Señoráns is located at Vilanoviña, in the Pontevedra town of Meis, in the Salnés area, which is one of the Rias Baixas appellation’s sub-zones. The mansion, which is owned by the husband and wife team of Soledad (Marisol) Bueno and Javier Mareque, took on its wine-producing role in 1989, although the estate had been growing vines (which now cover eight hectares or twenty acres) since the beginning of the 1980s. Marisol, a tenacious and determined woman, set her sights higher and determined to make her own white wine that would be sold in bottle, an aim she first achieved with the 1990 vintage. Her unshakeable confidence in the terroir of her area made up for her lack of experience in the world of business and wine. Rising resolutely to the challenge, Marisol launched the new Pazo de Señoráns venture with a production of seven thousand bottles, which in later years increased to ten thousand. Her belief in success, her tenacity, and her love for Albariño wines led her to become the President of the Rias Baixas Regulating Board at the end of 1986.
