The Best of the Rías Baixas Region of Spain!

Paco & Lola

Paco & Lola – Rias Baixas, Spain

Founded in 2005, Paco & Lola is the fruit of a business initiative of a group of independent winegrowers from O Salnes who wanted to take their production to the highest professional level. These growers formed a cooperative called “Sociedad Cooperativa Vitivinícola Arousana,” which has over 400 members, making it the largest cooperative in DO Rías Baixas. Paco & Lola has almost 500 acres of vineyards situated over more than 1800 plots of land.

A distinctive product identity, a desire to think outside of the box and a quest for global brand recognition are the three pillars of Paco & Lola’s business philosophy. This drives absolutely everything the winery accomplishes. By being true to their philosophy Paco & Lola has become one of the most recognized wineries in DO Rías Baixas.

Paco & Lola comes from sun-kissed vineyards in Meano (Pontevedra) where the Rosalia de Castro Winery is situated in an area considered to be the cradle of Albariño wine.

In the heart of the Salnes Valley, this special area of northwest Spain is making some of the country’s most interesting white wines.

The Val do Salnes Subarea, is the largest  growing area, covering more than the 50% of the surface and with more than the 70% of the growers.

Paco & Lola is a young, modern winery committed to a fresh way of making and experiencing wine. Known around the world for our sophisticatedly fun image.

WE ARE THE POLKA-DOT WINE!

This distinguishing but risky mark of product identity, our desire to think outside of the box and the achievement of brand recognition worldwide are the three pillars of Paco & Lola’s winemaking philosophy. They are behind absolutely everything we do, from our packaging and bottle design, -with Paco & Lola’s signature crisp, bold polka dots-, to the entire winemaking process itself. By being true to this philosophy we have established ourselves as one of the most recognized wineries within the appellation Rías Baixas.

And the foundation on which these pillars stand is to make exceptional wines for exceptional people.

Sustainable Wine Growing

  • From its beginning, Paco & Lola has been actively involved in sustainable production through its integrated management of winegrape growing practices that ensure the maximum respect for the environment.
  • We are one of three members of LIFE + Viñas Atlánticas ( LIFE + Atlantic Vineyards), an innovative project through which winegrowers are committed to minimizing the use of chemical products using a variety of techniques and coordinated actions within the Environmental Management System.

     

  • In line with our philosophy, we are running as an organization committed to starting the path of fulfilling the 17 Goals established in the United Nations General Assembly as part of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda. Beyond regulatory compliance, inspired by our values, we promote the guarantee of gender equality and opportunities, as well as non-discrimination and we address the environmental challenge by focusing on improving our processes, facilities and supply chain.

     

  • With the implementation of this management system, our cooperative has managed to align the corporate strategy to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. Our first Sustainability Report, under the title “STUCK TO EARTH”, has been an important milestone in its management and an exercise of transparency and closeness with our stakeholders.
