Viña Costeira was founded in 1968, as the result of the illusion of a group of visionaries and rebels who broke with the wine trends of the time, in order to recover the historical grape varieties of Galicia: Loureira, Godello, Albariño and Treixadura, among others. From the very beginning, tradition and innovation have always been present in Viña Costeira, and the combination of these two factors is which now consolidates us as a solid reference in the Galician wine scene. Varietal diversity is one of the historical wealth of Ribeiro. Different strains contribute to make the region not an uniform monoculture but a surprising tapestry. In wine, this wealth also creates incredible combinations of nuances and aromas.
