The wines of Adegas Valmiñor

Adegas Valmiñor is a fairly young and very modern winery in the Rías Baixas region in the Spanish province of Galicia. Under the guidance of winemaker Cristina Mantilla, Adegas Valmiñor makes mainly sparklingly fresh wines from the typical grapes of the region, such as Albariño, Godello and Loureiro.

Adegas Valmiñor was founded in 1997. The winery now has 34 hectares of vineyards spread over four locations in O Rosal, in the southern tip of Galicia, where the Miño river flows into the Atlantic Ocean. A temperate climate prevails here, allowing the grapes to ripen for a long time. In the rolling, and in some places fairly steep, vineyards, the soil consists mainly of schist, which gives the wines plenty of minerality.

At the helm is winemaker Cristina Mantilla. She makes white wines that express the typicity of O Rosal's terroir as beautifully as possible. For this she mainly uses the Albariño grape, but also Loureiro, Godello and lesser-known Galician varieties such as Sousón, Brancellao, Caíño Tinto and Castañal.
