OUR ALBARIÑO VINEYARDS
Our vineyards: the Soul of albariño
Within the stone walls that enclose Finca Fillaboa lie nearly all of Bodegas Fillaboa’s vineyards, where the Albariño grape finds its finest expression. Each parcel is carefully tended and nurtured to preserve the authenticity of this emblematic variety, reflecting the richness of its surroundings and the singularity of its soils.
Diversity of vineyards
Fillaboa is home to 12 estates spanning nearly 50 hectares of vineyard, all devoted exclusively to the winery’s great protagonist: Albariño. From the venerable Finca Terneros, with 41 years of history, to the youthful Ribarteme, at 22, each parcel lends its own distinct character to the wines of Bodegas Fillaboa. Planted between 1985 and 2003, the vines grow in sandy loam soils, some enriched with river stone, while the Finca Río parcel rests on sediments that impart a singular minerality.
Age and soils
Each parcel carries its own history, age, and character, reflecting the richness of the soil and the orientation in which it basks in the sun.
