The Winery
Origins
History
Founded in 1985 by Mr. José Limeres Guille, actual Honorific President. La Val’s trajectory leading us up to what we are today. Let’s do a briefing of our history.
1. D.O. RIAS BAIXAS
FROM THE BEGINNING.
FROM THE BEGINNING.
We start in O Rosal, located at the mouth of the river Miño, with a vineyard called La Val. From this we derive our name. We promoted the creation of Rias Baixas Denomination of Origin in 1988, and since then we hold membership in the Plenary of the Consejo Regulador organization.
2. THE BEST WINE IN THE BEST TERRAIN
The making of quality wines implies having a terrain to match it. This is why, in 1989 and 1990, we planted Arantei and Taboexa vineyards and later on, in 2012, Porto.
3. MOVING UP
In 2003, production was moved to Finca Arantei, in Salvaterra de Miño parish with a new modern winery equipped with state-of-the-art technology. The building is surrounded by a 35 hectares plantation with a useful surface of 6,600 m².
4. NEW OWNERS, NEW CHALLENGES
In 2010, a change in the shareholders occurred (MBI/MBO), Limeres family holding a minor share. Among a group of investors, Fernando Bandeira, as managing-partner, and Antonio Ruiloba, as partner-administrator, became the new owners of the winery.
QUALITY
Quality with a Q
Bodega La Val has been recognized with the Spanish “Q” for Tourism Quality certificate, an award that grants touristic establishments five key characteristics: prestige, distinction, reliability, rigor and promotion.
The “Q” brand from the ICTE (Spanish Institute for Turistic Quality) gives us a chance to impulse our diversification through Wine Tourism.
