Moraima - Rías Baixas

Vineyards in Rías Baixas are a patchwork of many, many tiny plots, often in backyards. Moraima was started when the 11 friends and family members that make up this tiny co-op decided they no longer wanted to sell their wonderful, old vine fruit to larger co-ops in the area. They came together and started a small winery to create these lovely wines. Salnés is the coastal heart of Rías Baixas, and Moraima is one of only three bodegas producing wines strictly from the slightly inland portion of the area, Alto Salnés.
