Fillaboa, meaning “the good daughter” in the Gallego dialect of northwestern Spain, produces some of the rarest and highest quality wine from the D.O. Rías Baixas. Bodegas Fillaboa’s estate is focused exclusively on the cultivation of Albariño, the star white wine of the region, famed for its freshness, complexity and compatibility with local seafood.

Bodegas Fillaboa is owned by the Masaveu family, which traces its winemaking history back to the 19th century. The family decided to invest in Galicia with the purchase of this unique and magic estate in Salvaterra de Miño. Today Fillaboa is home to a tasting facility and formidable art collection housed in a 15th century Romanesque castle near the River Miño that forms the border between Spain and northern Portugal.

In a region where most wineries make wines from purchased grapes, Fillaboa stands apart for its exclusive use of estate-grown fruit, ensuring quality control and consistency from vine to bottle. The estate’s deep devotion to quality is perfectly reflected in the Selección Finca Monte Alto, one of the very few single-vineyard estate wines produced in Rías Baixas, a racy white wine that sings with granite minerality and showcases Albariño’s quintessential freshness.

Winemaker Notes

This white wine stuns at first sight: it is a clean and bright straw-yellow color with golden glints and a unique and delicate tone. On the nose, a toasty aroma with a candied fruity background, reminiscent of baked apples and bakery products. La Fillaboa 1898 is a smooth wine, with very well integrated acidity, volume and long persistence.

It is ideal to pair with fish dishes, poultry, and Asian cuisine.

Professional Ratings

94Wine Enthusiast
Medium yellow to the eye, this lees-aged Albariño has a nose of Seckel pear, dried thyme and river rocks. It is full-textured and is simultaneously refreshing and complex, offering peach, apricot, Valencia orange, dried Mediterranean herb and fennel pollen flavors that culminate in a dynamic finish.
