In 2007, Adegas Castrobrey, by developing their constant innovation interest, commercialized the project of their “grandfather” and founder of the winery, José Castro Brey: making a wine from the oldest vines grown in Fornotilleiro vineyards in Camanzo – Vila de Cruces (Pontevedra), most of them 50 years old. Thus, Albariño Sin Palabras was born.
In 2012, the first vintage NICE TO MEET YOU CASTROBREY came on to the market. The wine pays a special tribute to the grandmother of the family: Isabel Pereiro Becerra and the three following generations represented by the blending of the three wine varieties: treixadura and godello (50 years old vineyards) and albariño (10 years old vineyards). With an innovative design, the bottle is dedicated to one different city in the world by changing the design and color of the bottle (vintage 2012 to Seville, vintage 2013 to Girona and vintage 2014 (currently commercialized) to Donosti.
This award means the positive development of Adegas Castrobrey.
