Spain | Rias Baixas | Paco & Lola

P aco & Lola is a young, modern winery commit ted to a fresh way of making and experiencing wine. Known around the world for their sophis ticatedly fun image, Paco & Lola is the polka-dot wine. The wine comes from 500 acres of vineyards in Meaño, a special area in the Salnés Valley of northwest Spain, which is considered to be the cradle of Albariño wine – the king of white wines in Spain. Paco & Lola is the fruit of a business initiative of a group of independent winegrowers from Salnés who wanted to take their pro duction to a professional level. These growers formed a cooperative called “Sociedad Cooperativa Vitivinícola Arousana”, and now with over 400 members it is the largest cooperative belonging to the DO Rías Baixas. Paco & Lola has over 200 hectares (494 acres) of vineyards spread out over more than 1800 plots of land typical of Galician small holdings.
