Galicians have more than 70 words to describe rain and fog as it is a defining element throughout the region. Neboa is one such word, found in folklore texts to describe the fog that looms over the hillsides.
Neboa is a collaboration with Bodegas Eidosela in the Condado do Tea subregion of RÃas Baixas. On one trip to Galicia and Eidosela, we heard about a unique single vineyard site in their holdings that struck our curiosity and piqued our interest.

Eidosela agreed to separate out this parcel and vinify the wine for us to our specifications.
RIAS BAIXAS | CONDADO DO TEA || Located in the northwest Spanish peninsula, RÃas Baixas is best known for its extraordinary wines made from the Albariño variety. The name of the region is from the Galician language, Gallego, which means “low estuaryâ€.
