Fillaboa Winery
Fillaboa is a historical Galician estate; the estate has remained indivisible for centuries and is one of the largest, oldest and most beautiful in Galicia and the only one that, due to its special characteristics, forms part of the Grandes Pagos de España. Behind the 1,600 metre thick stone Wall that protects the property, lie the vineyards, the winery and the spectacular, reconstructed stately manor.
54 hectares of Albariño grape vineyards, planted on rolling slopes, form the Fillaboa estate which has a total of 74 hectares divided into 12 plots on the natural border with Portugal, alongside the Tea and Miño Rivers. The rich soils, Atlantic climate and mild temperatures due to the proximity of the sea, make Fillaboa a privileged place to grow the native Albariño grape.
