Val de Meigas is the personal project of Rebeca Barral from the Salnés valley of Galicia’s Rías Baixas! Rebeca’s family has been established for generations in the town of Ribadumia in the heart of the Salnés valley. Salnés is the oldest and most coastal of the Rías Baixas appellation’s recognized subzones, and is generally believed to the be the genetic birthplace of the Albariño variety. Rebeca’s family has been producing wine since 1983, but it wasn’t until 2015 that Rebeca decided to start her own project, sourced from select parcels of her family’s holdings. Since then, Rebeca has fine-tuned her winemaking to express her preferred style by utilizing sustainable and ecologically friendly farming practices, natural yeasts, avoiding skin contact and extended lees aging. The result is a pure, light, and mineral-driven style of this oceanic refreshment.
Val de Meigas comes from the spanish word, “meigas” or witches. The meigas, legend has it, are magical figures full of power that inhabit the entire valley and their meaning is closely related to Galician culture and tradition. These figures, full of magic, have inspired the Rebeca to make a wine that evokes tradition, mystery and the supernatural. A wine that imbues those who taste it with Galician culture and tradition, making them part of the magic of this land.
“Our vision is to create a wine of excellent quality that transmits the culture and traditions of Galicia and carries the magic from our land to all corners of the world.”
