The winery owned by the Counts of Castelo and was originally built in the 15th century. Located in the D.O. Rías Baixas, it is one of the few wineries in the province of La Coruña. Their Solagra vineyard, which comprises 80% of their production, lies mostly within the Ulla Valley, an area at 800 m above sea level that is actually cooler than Galicia’s coastal regions. The Albariño grown in this special micro-climate slowly develops its perfume and fruit while keeping its innate freshness.

Vinification: Casa do Sol wine is based on a rational and natural viticulture approach, where the most important thing is monitoring and working the vine, from pruning to harvesting. In the winery, they work with the utmost respect for the grapes, applying an instinctive and minimally intervention enology method. The harvest, carried out by hand, the selected bunches undergo a cold skin maceration to enhance the primary aromas found in the skin of the grape. The subsequent fermentation is natural thanks to the use of autochthonous and own yeasts. The Albariño is aged on lees for around ten months, depending on the development of the wine of each individual vintage and its own characteristics. Froiña is their freshest expression vinified and aged only in stainless steel with its own yeast.
