Adegas Gran Vinum belongs to Enrique Piñeiro. In 1998 the Val do Salnes subregion was attached to Rias Baixas D.O. stimulating a renewed focus of the wines' quality. Adegas Gran Vinum reacted adding new plots of wineyards in steep, sandy and southern-orientated slopes, near ocean, which decrease the temperature and widen the ripening providing wines with more spices, fruit varietal caracter and salinity. Wineyards' grounds are rich in the traditional way because they are excavated in sites where there are shells.
Albariño is the local grape and it is known for its ability to ripen in this cold corner of Spain. Besides, it keeps well its nature acidity providing fresh and balanced wines. Adegas Gran Vinum uses different rootstocks in the free drainage slopes in front of more fertile grounds to guarantee the ripening longer.
