Xangall means gentle, loving

Winemaker Begoña Troncoso : "I never imagined that wine would be my world and that I would make wine, which is now my great passion. I married a wonderful man from a family of harvesters. And decided to continue their tradition. But in my own way. With the help of my daughter Mencía and my husband Menuel, we are committed to organic wine production.
We are now the only biodynamic winery near Arbo (Pontevedra). In the two hectares of vineyard we cultivate, not a single chemical or synthetic substance is used. Working in the vineyard is all about observation, so to speak. So, of everything that develops there.
I nurture the vines with preparations and hydroalcoholic extractions. Made from nettles, eucalyptus, and salvia, among other things. Xangall in our dialect means "careful, loving, like our way of doing things."

Rías Baixas
