ABOUT THIS WINE
Villa Dauga Albariño is a white wine from Bodegas Pazo Cilleiro, produced in the D.O. Rías Baixas region of Galicia, Spain.

The vineyards are cultivated in shallow, siliceous soil with granitic sand, contributing to the wine's minerality. Bodegas Pazo Cilleiro emphasizes sustainable viticulture and maintains strong relationships with local small-scale winegrowers, blending traditional practices with modern technology. The winery utilizes a unique horizontal trellis system for its vines, a distinctive method in Galicia.
