Fillaboa Winery
Fillaboa is a historic estate that has remained indivisible over the centuries, being one of the largest, most beautiful, and oldest in Galicia, and the only one that, due to its special characteristics, belongs to Grandes Pagos de España. Behind the 1,600 meters of the thick stone wall protecting the property, in addition to the vineyards, lie the winery and a spectacular reconstructed manor house.
Fifty hectares of Albariño vineyards planted on rolling hills make up the Fillaboa estate, located in Salvatierra de Miño, on the natural border with Portugal, near the Tea and Miño rivers, and encompassing a total of 74 hectares spread across 12 different plots. The rich soils and Atlantic climate, with mild temperatures due to the proximity of the sea, make Fillaboa a privileged location for cultivating the native Albariño grape variety.
