We believe in minimal intervention that respects the authenticity and purity of the grape, making wines that do not mask their natural beauty.<\/p>\n
Our winery is a simple and functional space, designed to preserve the essence of our grapes and reflect the unique character of this very special terroir. Here, control is essential, but without major technological interventions; tradition and precision walk hand in hand, in perfect harmony.<\/p>\n
With an extremely limited production, we focus on every detail to ensure that quality is our absolute priority. Harvest is a crucial moment, and due to our small size, we can carry it out at the precise moment, by hand, carefully selecting the bunches at their optimal point.<\/p>\n
At Aba Solleira, we make two wines: Aba Solleira and Aba Solleira Selecci\u00f3n Personal. The first is almost 100% Menc\u00eda, from our granite soil parcels. The second, also predominantly Menc\u00eda, has a special touch with a small blend of native varieties such as Brancellao and Merenzao, coming from the oldest vineyards grown in slate soils.<\/p>\n
Both wines ferment in small stainless-steel tanks, with a maceration of about 10 days. The pressing is always manual, preserving the integrity of the grapes.<\/p>\n
fter fermentation, both wines remain in contact with their lees until usually the next harvest. This natural process of stabilization also adds softness and roundness to the palate. Aba Solleira ages in a 3,500-liter French oak vat, while Aba Solleira Selecci\u00f3n Personal ages in 500-liter French oak barrels, which adds a more delicate and elegant touch.<\/p>\n
This is the heart of our work: to make wines that express the best of the land, without forcing anything, but with a deep respect for tradition and terroir.<\/p>\n

Founded in 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n We are a small family winery, owned and managed by Carlos Rodriguez and his wife Emilia Gomez.<\/p>\n Carlos is a native of Navarra, and a trained agronomist and talented winemaker. Since 2001 he has been consulting for many wineries within Spain and throughout Europe, helping them to develop their plantings, grape growing, and winemaking.<\/p>\n Emilio Gomez is from Galicia, and is also an experienced agronomist and winemaker, and since 2004 has worked as a specialized Master of quality, environment, and labor risk prevention at various wineries throughout Spain, mainly in Rioja.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/abasolleira.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/familia-1.jpg” alt=”ABA SOLLEIRA bodega familiar en Ribeira Sacra” show_in_lightbox=”on” force_fullwidth=”on” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” disabled_on=”on|on|on” disabled=”on” sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ max_width=”1280px” custom_margin=”0px|||” custom_margin_last_edited=”off|desktop” custom_padding=”0px|||” use_custom_width=”on” custom_width_px=”1280px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/abasolleira.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/aba-solleira-ribera-sacra-bodega.jpg” title_text=”aba-solleira-ribera-sacra-bodega” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_line_height=”1.8em” header_font=”||||||||” header_3_font=”||||||||” header_3_font_size=”39px” header_3_line_height=”1.2em” custom_margin=”|||” custom_padding=”|||” header_3_font_size_tablet=”” header_3_font_size_phone=”” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n For the love of a territory, and for a job well-done.<\/strong><\/p>\n We met studying winemaking in Rioja, where we had come from our home regions, but we never lost touch with our respective birthplaces, as our families are still living in both Navarra and Galicia. Emilia\u2019s family comes from the highest lands of Ribera Sacra, and we are so in love with the region that we were married in the most famous monastery there, Santo Estevo. After more than 15 years in the wine business, we decided to branch out on our own, and purchased a small winery and 4,000 square meters of vineyards in Ribera Sacra. We produce our own grapes, love taking care of the vineyards, and are passionate about making our very own wine.<\/p>\n With passion and respect. We aren\u2019t a family rich in wealth, and we didn\u2019t inherit a property nor did we reach out to investors to purchase the most beautiful winery. We used all of our life savings to make our dream come true, which was to one day have our own winery. This is an adventure we have dreamed of millions of times over, and we are passionate to create the most beautiful wine we can possibly make. We honor the history of this sacred land, and its history of winemaking going back to Romans, and even before. Our promise is to respect this land, and the natural environment, to preserve a healthy planet for future generations.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” disabled_on=”on|on|on” disabled=”on” sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_fullwidth_image src=”https:\/\/abasolleira.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/interior-bodega-ribera-sacra.jpg” alt=”Instalaciones de Aba Solleira” title_text=”interior-bodega-ribera-sacra” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_fullwidth_image][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We believe in minimal intervention that respects the authenticity and purity of the grape, making wines that do not mask their natural beauty.
