Bodegas del Palacio de Fefiñanes

The Palacio de Fefinanes farm is primarily a historical castle located in the central square of Cambados. The castle was built by Sarmieno Valladerosem in 1583 for the aristocratic Araujo family, and since 1928 the estate began to produce and bottled wine from Albariño under the name of the castle itself.

This makes the Palacio de Fefinanes the oldest producer of Albariño wines.

Until this year, many families in the region made wines for home consumption, and the grandfather of the current owner of the estate thought that people from all over the world could enjoy their autochthonous wine. Today, Palacio de Fefinanes wines can already be found in 25 countries of the world, while of the 160 thousand bottles produced, about 85 thousand are sold outside Spain.

A modern, but at the same time a small winery, harmoniously blended into the granite vaults of the castle. To produce his wines, Juan Gil de Araujo uses his grapes, which grow on granite soils right on the territory of the castle, but he historically purchases most of the raw materials from 66 local farmers in the Salnes Valley, known to the de Araujo family for the high quality of their grapes. Albariño vines grow at altitudes not significantly above sea level near numerous estuaries.

The terroirs for Fefinanes wines are mostly sandy with elements of limestone and clay with a fairly high acidity level. The subsoil contains a dense layer of crushed granite and, in some cases, rocks or clay. Granite terroirs are more often used for the production of 2 of the top wines of the estate: Albarino 1583 and Albraino "III" and they give very mineral, nervous wines with a strong structure and a truly vertical taste, while Albariños from sandy terroirs give smoother and more fruity samples.
