RIAS BAIXAS, SPAIN
ABOUT VIÑABADE
Located in the heart of the Salnes Valley, Viñabade was founded by Manuel Vázquez 50 years ago. The second generation of the family, sister and brother Myriam and Manuel Vázquez, now run the winery. They select the best grapes from their own vineyard to produce wines of character and personality.
The name "Viñabade" means "Abbot's Vineyard" in the Galician language, a reference to the Cluny monks who are believed to have brought Albariño to the area from Burgundy in the 12th or 13th century. The winery is located in Val do Salnés, the oldest sub-zone of Rias Baixas. Val do Salnés, located on the Atlantic coast, is known as the birthplace of the Albariño grape. The granitic soil and cool Atlantic climate provide perfect growing conditions for Albariño, producing elegant, fresh and crisp wines.
