Bodegas Eidosela

The winery was born as a crystallization of a common dream among a group of friends. A dream that shares the illusion of an area, Tea County, which stretches along the right bank of the river Miño.

The project has turned into two brands of wine, Eidosela and Arbastrum, reflecting the passion of the owners: wine and art.

The vineyards of Bodegas Eidosela, have an extension of 45 hectares of the different Galician varieties: Albariño, Treixadura, Loureiro.

Vineyards receive a permanent care so that the vegetative cycle and the grape quality finish in a proper way. The winery works on the principle of imposing an exigency in the grapes quality.

Rias Baixas

The Atlantic Ocean, pine forests lining hills that overlook fjord-like inlets, vines trained on pergolas and light, fresh, aromatic wines to complement the finest array of seafood. Welcome to Galicia, green Spain and the home of the country’s most sought-after quality wine: Albariño from the DO of coastal Rías Baixas.

This DO is still barely out of its teens, yet no upmarket restaurateur in Madrid would exclude an Albariño from its list, especially if a range of fish is offered. The local markets of Galicia feature a vast choice including highly prized percebes (goose barnacles), octopus, oysters, prawns, every variety of squid, bream and sea bass which go perfectly with Albariño wines.

Thanks to a leap in quality and the benefits of modern winemaking techniques, Albariño has captured the imagination both at home and abroad and vineyards have been expanding in recent years to keep pace with demand for the wines.

Albariño wines do not come cheap for various reasons. The region’s producers, known as adegas, tend to be small and only bottled wines are permitted according to DO regulations to encourage producers to focus on quality. The size of the vintage can also vary quite dramatically from year to year due to the damp climate here – note that the average rainfall in this Celtic corner of Spain is far higher than most other Spanish regions and indeed most parts of the UK.

But the climate does present a major advantage: getting the desired level of acidity for these crisp white wines is rarely a problem for producers in the Rías Baixas.

Most Albariños from the Rías Baixas are unoaked and made to be enjoyed within a year of their vintage, so look out for recent vintages as a rule. However, some Albariño wines have the capacity to age; they develop a tangy, minerally character and are well worth seeking out.
