WHO CAN CONTRACT
Pazo Baión is a unique farm located in the heart of the Salnés valley. This distinguished property whose origins date back to the 15th century has one of the most spectacular vineyards on the world wine scene.
The walls of Pazo Baión keep behind them the history of the most important noble families in Galicia. Founded in the 15th century by the Sarmiento, Pazo Baión would host some of the most outstanding lineages such as the Figueroa, the Camba or the Soutomaior.
Among its centuries of history, there is also talk of Galician emigration at the hands of Don Adolfo Fojo, a wealthy emigrant returned from Argentina, who bought the property and carried out the largest reform of the old pazo, giving it the architectural structure that at the moment it owns with the two towers of Victorian court. It would also send the construction of a dairy and a winery. The last heirs of Don Adolfo Fojo sold the property in the 70s, at which time the first technical plantation of Albariño de Rías Baixas was carried out. This vineyard then became a reference for professionals in the sector.
Finally, and after going through different owners, on July 16, 2008, Pazo Baión was acquired by Adega Condes de Albarei.
In addition, Condes de Albarei undertakes an architectural and landscaping reform on the estate under the baton of the Galician architect César Portela, National Architecture Prize, thanks to which this jewel of artistic and cultural heritage relives its golden age.
