Producer Profile

Grandes Pagos Gallegos is a project within Ribeira Sacra in which they produce expressive wines from three great native Galician white varieties of Treixadura, Albariño and Godello, as well as the best red varieties of Mencía, Caiño, Brancellao and Sousón.

Seeking out land where these varietals are most purely expressed. The wineries are characterised by a series of common traits, including uniqueness and a vineyard of the highest quality. They are winegrowers first and foremost before they are winemakers, practicing environmentally friendly cultivation and giving the utmost importance to the location of the vineyards, always in historic areas and preferably on hillsides. Their notable wineries include Adgea Ponte da Boga, Quinta Couselo and Fragas de Lecer.

Viticulture

Sourced from organically farmed vineyards in the Ribeiro DO, planted on granite and slate soils that impart freshness and minerality. The vines are managed carefully to maintain low yields and preserve aromatic purity.

Winemaking

Grapes are hand-harvested and gently pressed, with fermentation carried out using native yeasts in stainless steel tanks to retain the wine’s bright fruit and freshness. No oak ageing is used to preserve crispness and varietal character.

Tasting Note

Bright and refreshing, this white showcases lively aromas of green apple, citrus zest, and white flowers, complemented by subtle hints of fresh herbs and a delicate minerality. The palate is crisp and balanced, with vibrant acidity and a clean, refreshing finish.

Food Matching

Fresh seafood salads, grilled sardines, or light tapas featuring herbs and citrus.
