Winemaker Begoña Troncoso : "I never thought that wine would be my world and that I would make wine, now my great passion. I married a beautiful 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.
Now we are the only biodynamic winery near Arbo (Pontevedra). In the two hectares of vineyard that we cultivate, no chemical synthetic substance is used. The work in the vineyard is all about observation. So of everything that develops there.
I take care of the vines with preparations and hydro-alcoholic extractions. Made from nettles, eucalyptus and salvia. Xangall in our dialect means careful, loving, like our way of doing things."
