The fermentation takesplace at a low temperature to avoidthe evaporation of the aromas.Marqués de Sanfiz is the outcomeof the perfect assembly of thethree most important Galicianvarieties: Treixadura, Godello andAlbariño. All of them come fromvineyards located around the damof Castrelo de Miño. The climate,of Atlantic-Mediterraneantransition, enables the vintage ofthe vineyard at its optimumripening moment, without losingthe characteristic acidity andaromatic complexity

One family, five appellations. A project united by the rivers that run through Galicia and that trace an imaginary line that connects our vineyards and feeds them. 

 

It all began in 1940, when Manuel Méndez and Maruja Otero opened Casa Penouzos in Chantada (Lugo), a wine shop that was then the trigger for a relationship that would be continued years later by Javier Méndez and Ana María Rojo, parents of Juan Luis Méndez Rojo. In this same line, and as a special tribute to his parents and to his beloved land of origin, a project is started which he names and protects with his own surnames: Méndez-Rojo; a project that reflects the trajectory, the years of experience and the knowledge of the sector, offering excellent brands of Galician wines.  

 

We start from the respect and admiration for the environment, seeking to pay tribute to the land and our people. The only project with wines from the 5 Galician designations of origin.
