Our flagship brand bears the name of our first vineyard located on a hillside between the municipalities of Ribadumia and Cambados in a hamlet called Fornos. Our forebears called this dry and stony area "Castel" which proved optimal for growing Albariño. The name ‘Castel de Fornos’ was penned in tribute to these early beginnings. Tasting Notes Bright and clear with a colour of hay and a glint of green, Castel de Fornos is a high intensity wine with a torrent of complex aromas. First come the floral hints (gardenia, rose, orange

blossom), then the fruit (apricot, orange peel, honey-like) with a background of herbs (laurel, anise, mint). The bouquet is that of a wonderful English garden. NAME
