Pazo de La Cuesta, the oldest family winery in Galicia
The awakening of a distant memory
Welcome to Pazo de La Cuesta, a living embodiment of the history of the Ribeira Sacra, which preserves the essence of its origins thanks to the commitment handed down over fourteen generations
Wines from Pazo de La Cuesta
The soul of Pazo's great wines lies in the grapes: Godello, Treixadura, Albariño, Loureira, Mencía, Garnacha Tintorera, Brancellao, Sousón, Merenzao and Caiño Tinto are the native varieties used by Pazo de La Cuesta to produce its great wines. We are inspired by the concept of the châteaux of Bordeaux, where the winery is surrounded by vineyards, allowing us to rigorously control the quality of the fruit and process it immediately. The essence of the Ribeira Sacra
Galicia’s oldest family winery
1608
In 1608, Captain Álvaro de Losada y Somoza inherited the Casa Grande de La Cuesta from his grandfather. It was located alongside a chapel, wine cellars, an orchard, gardens, and the vineyards that extended along the slope of the mountain towards the Sil River.
The love for this land has been passed down from generation to generation until it reached ours, which today faces the challenge of renovating the winery, restoring the historic vineyard that is Galicia’s living heritage.
