Valdeorras

The origins of the Valdeorras Designation of Origin (DO) are linked to the Roman presence by the road Via Nova and by the gold deposits in the area. The first references to viticulture on the banks of the Sil river take us to Lucius Pompeius, who planted the first grapevines of the region in the 1st century.

The region stands out for the elaboration of white wines, being the Godello grape the main protagonist, and for its celebrated red wines. The most distinguished grape used for the creation of red wine is the Mencía, and it is usually combined with other varieties like the Sousón, the Garnacha or the Tempranillo.
