DISCOVER THE BEST SECRET OF ALBARIÑOS WINES!
Val do Salnés occupies the peninsula of the same name between the estuaries of Pontevedra and Arosa in the lower part of the Umia river. Its dynamic center is the city of Cambados, full of beautiful pazos. The vineyard is cultivated in small hills that do not exceed 100 m above sea level. The name of Salnés comes from the salt mines exploited in the Middle Ages, which had a high economic interest in fish salting.

PACO & LOLA
This distinguishing but risky mark of product identity, our desire to think outside of the box and the achievement of brand recognition worldwide are the three pillars of Paco & Lola’s winemaking philosophy. They are behind absolutely everything we do, from our packaging and bottle design, -with Paco & Lola’s signature crisp, bold polka dots-, to the entire winemaking process itself. By being true to this philosophy we have established ourselves as one of the most recognized wineries within the appellation Rías Baixas.
And the foundation on which these pillars stand is to make exceptional wines for exceptional people.
