Adega do Vimbio

Natural and organic wines in the Rias Baixas

Adega do Vimbio, located in Goian, Tomiño, in the Minho valley and close to the border with Portugal, has a history that dates back to 1985. It was then that the family of Martín Crusat bought the estate and planted the first vines. Today, the winery has 2.5 hectares spread over three plots: Casendo, Veque and O Gaiteiro.

The winery is run by Martín Crusat, a passionate biologist, and Patricia Elola, a graduate in environmental sciences. After a decade working abroad, in 2012 they decided to return to Galicia to give life to Adega do Vimbio, imbuing their project with a sustainable and minimal intervention approach. Here, native yeasts take centre stage and acidity corrections or chemical stabilisation are avoided, allowing the wines to authentically reflect the terroir.

The Albariño, Caiño Blanco and Loureiro vineyards grow on mixed soils of schist, clay and riverine pebbles, providing a unique richness to their wines. In 2020, Martín and Patricia opted to leave the Rías Baixas Designation of Origin to gain greater freedom in their winemaking practices and capture the pure essence of their vineyard.

Among their wines, "Vimbio" stands out, a tribute to the Galician term for wicker, traditionally used to tie vines. In addition, their line includes feral wines, created without bureaucratic restrictions, always seeking an honest and wild expression of their grapes. Among their natural wines, Roico, Encoiros and O Acordo stand out.

Discover at Adega do Vimbio something more than just a winery, a celebration of tradition, sustainability and a passion for wine. Each bottle reflects the love for the land and a vocation for honesty in every sip. A perfect find for those looking for an organic or natural wine. Cheers!
