Our Wines and Their Landscape
We recover and preserve old vineyards to make landscape wines bringing their origin and expression closer to the wine.
#LandOriginPassion
We accompany each variety during its vinification, we adapt and listen
to what each wine asks throughout the winemaking process, without any set protocol,
allowing them to express the best of their character.

Experimental and Ephemeral
Wine Line
At Anonimas viticultoras we explore new wine-making each vintage like Murinüs 2020 and 2021, a white wine made from the native minority Ratiño variety included in the Official Catalogue of Spanish Varieties in 2021, and the red Morea 2020 of carbonic maceration with the Mencia variety. Both wines are made in the Rias Baixas area. For these editions we have counted on original illustrations signed by the artist from Ourense, Xaime Fuentes. These research projects were later joined by two other wines, one made from Albariño and Godello grapes in D.O. Rias Baixas aged in re-used Palo Cortado sherry wine casks and another one made from Godello grapes aged in Amontillado casks in D.O. Ribeira Sacra.
