History: Located in the heart of the Salnes Valley, Viñabade was founded by Manuel Vazquez 50 years ago. The second generation of the family, Myriam and Manuel Vazquez, now run the winery. They select the best grapes from their Estate to produce the ultimate expression of each wine's 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.
Regional Information: The Rías Baixas wine region is tucked away in a north westerly corner or Spain, in the municipality of Galicia, immediately north of Portugal. Verdant, undulating and unspoiled - Galicia, is also referred to as ‘Green Spain'. There is something truly spectacular about the vineyards of Rías Baixas. The name refers to a series of Atlantic inlets called rías, which meander from the ocean into western Galicia. Vines used to produce tart and aromatic white wines carpet both sides of the river valley.
