Description
Located in the heart of the Salnes Valley, Viñabade was founded by Manuel Vazquez 50
years ago. The second generation of the family, Myriam and Manuel Vazquez, now run the
winery. They select the best grapes from their Estate to produce the ultimate expression of
each wine’s character and personality.
The name “Viñabade” means “Abbot’s Vineyard” in the Galician language, a reference to
the Cluny monks who are believed to have brought Albariño to the area from Burgundy in
the 12th or 13th century. The granitic soil and Atlantic climate provide perfect growing
conditions for Albariño, producing clean, bright wines with excellent minerality.
