Description La Val is a historical founder of the Rías Baixas appellation. It is also one of the largest vineyard owners in this region with 94 hectares of fundamentally Albariño vineyards  across four large estates: Vilachán in the Rosal, and Taboexa,  Arantei and Porto in the  Condado de Tea.

The grapes come from the estate called Porto (4Ha and 13 years old), with soil where the Miño river used to flow, alluvial and pebble. The vine training system is the traditional Galician vine. Spontaneous fermentation takes place with the yeasts provided by the vineyard. Coupage according to the characteristics of each variety depending on the vintage.
