The territory of Alvarinho wine is in the north-west of the Iberian Peninsula, the Galician Rías Baixas and Monção & Melgaço, portuguese side, Vinho Verde region.

What interests us is that he has been here for a long time. This is where she grew up, her nursery, her home, her existential destiny. You can take her wherever you want, and rightfully so. There, alone or in alliance with others, it can produce fabulous wines. So be it, we can only be honoured and proud of it. But this is something else: it's time in space and space in time. It's an interweaving of history, relationships, habits and customs. It's culture. It's community. It's an emotion, a passion, an underpinning of identity. It's Monção and Melgaço, Condado do Tea, O Rosal, Soutomaior, Val do Salnés and Ribeira do Ulla.

In these parts you can breathe antiquity and contemplate the presence of eternity: in the vastness of the Atlantic, in the grandeur of the mountains, in the serenity of the River Minho, in the mystery of the Saint James way, in the solidity of the medieval fortifications, in the reminiscences of Celtic - Castro culture... this is the synthesis of this territory.

Come and discover it without rushing to look or walk. Explore its different terroirs, imbued with subtleties  and particularisms that promote diversity in universality. From Vigo, a maritime city open to the world and the future, to each of the sub-areas mentioned is less than an hour's journey. Less than an instant.
