Bodegas La Val
La Val is a historical founder of the Rías Baixas appellation. It is also one of the largest vineyard owners in this region. La Val owns 94 hectares of fundamentally Albariño vineyards across 3 large estates: Vilachán in the Rosal, Taboexa and Arantei, Porto in the Condado de Tea. This is one of the few wineries in the Rías Baixas Designation of Origin and in Galicia in general to have the British Retail Consortium (BRC) Food Safety Certification, one of the most important accreditations in terms of product quality. With it, the union of traditional winemaking with the latest technology in the wine sector is valued. The desire for continuous improvement and the search for excellence always lead La Val to innovate in their winemaking processes. The result is to offer wines of the highest quality.
