The Barros family has grown Albarino grapes since the 1970’s. José Barros planted 10ha of vines, which at that time was one of the most decisive commitments to the Albarino variety as well as one of the largest vineyards in Galicia. The winery was founded under the name Maior de Mendoza. Although, these days, it is one of the references of the Rías Baixas Denomination of Origin, Maior de Mendoza holds on to its family business roots, values and passion for the Albarino variety. This is the commitment of the technical staff led by Cristina Mantilla, one of the most important oenologists in the country.

Coto de Xiabre & Rectoral de Padrenda (10.21 Ha, Average 38 year old vines). Own vineyard on 2 plots near the sea, in the Salnés Valley, within the “Rías Baixas” Denomination of Origin. Planted before the creation of the DO, the largest Albariño area of the time.

In Bodega, a cold skin maceration was carried out for an average of 10 hours. Alcoholic fermentation took place for 21 days at a controlled temperature (16-18oC), with native yeasts. It was aged on fine lees for 3 months, with battonage.
