The Grandes Pagos Gallegos Winery is a project that aims to make wines from the best Galician areas and with traditional varieties from each area. At the head of the technical direction is the prestigious oenologist José Manuel Martinez Juste, oenologist also at the Quinta de Couselo Winery, a winery belonging to the Grandes Pagos group since 2013. Fraga do Corvo is a winery under the Monterrei Designation of Origin, with more ten years of existence. Founded in 2005 by the Boo-Rivero family, it joined the Grandes Pagos Gallegos de Viticultura Traditional project in 2016. They maintain a respectful philosophy in their viticulture, recovering historic slopes where to cultivate the vineyard, working exclusively with native Galician varieties that give their wines a differentiating and unique character, taking care of the soil through respectful cultivation without using herbicides or pesticides that kill and strip the soils, using a plant architecture consistent with the weather, orography, soil and varieties. The winery is located in the town of Vilaza (Monterrei), this parish was an important Roman town, known by the name of Vilatia, whose power lasted over time, coming to have a monastery of the Templars in the 11th and 12th centuries, whose remains are currently divided into six houses (several of them already renovated) and the chapel of Santa Cruz. In this historic place the modern winery is located with facilities equipped with the most modern technologies combining tradition and progress. Since the end of the 1980s, the Boo-Riveros have planted a good part of the vineyards of autochthonous varieties in the Monterrei region. This experience allowed him to know the best clones of the autochthonous varieties to plant the vineyards that were later linked to the Fragas do Lecer project. The vineyards total 20 hectares spread over 48 plots. Their names collect the toponymy of the area; Infesta, Gargalo, Miringuela, Pousadoira, Bagoeira … From many of them you can see the castle of Monterrei, a silent witness to more than eight centuries of the valley’s history. The varied location of its vineyards means that they have plantations in each of the different soils of the valley: granite, sandy and slate schist. This gives their wines an extraordinary complexity. They own some of the oldest Godello and Mencía plantations in the area, with vines over 30 years old.
