Bodegas Valdesil

The Valdesil mansion is located in Galicia, Spain and its name literally means: The valley of the river Sil. Since 2000, the Prada family has bought back, plot by plot, the land sold by the previous generation and which José Ramón Gayoso has planted with vineyards since 1855. Taking advantage of the huge potential of the land, through low yields and separate management of each plot, together with the main winemaker Cristina Mantilla and her skills to work with the local variety Godello, Valdesil offers some of the most impressive and interesting white wines from Spain today. They own the oldest Godello vines, as well as impressive plots called pezas, high on the hills along the Sil River, on terraces, on shale slabs. Thanks to a revived tradition and an excellent team of professionals, Valdesil makes wines that reflect the origin and variety - elegant and with individuality.

Galicia

Galicia is a beautiful region in northwest Spain that boasts landscapes filled with green valleys and stunning beaches. The area is known as the land of mineral springs and hot springs. The ultimate destination for religious pilgrimage, Santiago de Compostela, is located in Galicia and is also the capital of the region. The region is proud of dramatic cliffs and views such as A Costa da Morte. Several small towns and villages along the coast, as well as inland, are worth visiting to explore their incredible traditions and delicious cuisine. Traditional dishes in Galicia include mussels, beef, octopus with potatoes, ham, dried pork with green turnips, or an almond tart known as “Tarta de Santiago.” The famous wines Rías Baixas DO and Ribeiro DO are produced in this region and pair well with traditional local foods. The wine region of Galicia is one of 17 regions in Spain, located in the northwest corner of the Iberian Peninsula. The area is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean on two sides, south of Portugal and east of another Spanish wine region, Castilla y León. A well-known region called DO Rías Baixas is the official home of the Albariño grape, a variety widely used to make delicious, fresh white wines. Alongside this, Torrontés, Treixadura, and especially Godello dominate in the DO of Ribeiro and Monterrei. In 2016, vines were cultivated on about 10,000 hectares in Galician wine areas. Today, there are over 450 small and large wineries with about 16,400 registered grape growers. The wines of Galicia enjoy diverse soils, ranging from granite in Rías Baixas to slate in Valdeorras. Approximately 84,000 vineyards in Galicia are less than one hectare. Despite the challenges of smaller vineyards and less favorable climatic conditions, the region continues to produce top-quality wines in Spain.
