Located in the lush, green heart of the O Rosal sub-region, the Lagar de Fornelos estate represents a brilliant meeting of two Spanish wine traditions. In the late 1980s, the legendary La Rioja Alta family set out to find the absolute best terroir for producing premium Spanish white wine. Their search led them straight to the Atlantic coast of Rías Baixas, where they purchased and completely revitalised this magnificent property.
Today, the winery boasts one of the most significant and pristine vineyard holdings in the region. Benefiting from the unique microclimate of the O Rosal valley, where the river meets the ocean, the vines are bathed in sunlight while being constantly cooled by fresh sea breezes. This perfect natural balance allows the grapes to achieve brilliant ripeness while maintaining a crucial, thirst-quenching acidity.
While the estate produces a broader portfolio of exceptional regional expressions, it is most famous as the home of the iconic Lagar de Cervera Albariño. Whether you are exploring their world-renowned, elegantly textured white wines or their wider range of traditional coastal spirits, a bottle from Lagar de Fornelos guarantees pure, expressive quality that perfectly captures the magic of the Spanish Atlantic coast.
