Lagar de Fornelos –
White wines from the green northwest of Spain
Bodegas Lagar de Fornelos has its origins in humid, Atlantic-influenced Galicia – a region that, with its granite soils, cool sea climate, and lush greenery, hardly resembles the image of sun-drenched Spain. It is precisely this climate that shapes white wines with a freshness and liveliness rarely found in more southern growing regions.
The focus is on the region's typical grape varieties, Albariño and Loureiro. Albariño brings precise acidity, aromas of citrus peel and white peach, as well as a salty minerality that points to the proximity to the Atlantic. Loureiro complements with floral notes and a light herbal tone – both varieties are closely linked to the identity of Galicia and have thrived here for centuries.
The wines of Lagar de Fornelos are easily accessible and yet characterful enough to pair with seafood, grilled fish, or a bowl of pulpo a la gallega – classic combinations that are lived daily in Galicia itself.
