SALNÉS VALLEY    VINEYARDS

Salnés Valley

Salnés Valley is an area where the largest area of vineyards and wineries of the Rías Baixas Designation of Origin is concentrated. The territory of the Albariño dominates in excellence, and is one with the most consolidated wine making tradition. It runs along the coast from part of the Pontevedra estuary and the entire Arosa estuary, having the Umia river as its epicenter.

The King variety, without any doubt in the Valley, is the Albariño variety. Why? As often happens, varieties must go hand in hand with two key elements in all wine making: climate and soil. In this sub area of the D.O. Rías Baixas, soil and climate perfectly embrace the Albariño, because it is very resistant to adverse weather conditions.

The Rías Baixas Designation of Origin is fully integrated into the great Atlantic region, on the northeast coast of Spain. Its climatic dynamics are those of this area, which gives this Albariño variety of wines a great personality, unique and genuine, a true fruit of the Atlantic climate.
