Who are we?
MGH Wines is a winery group dedicated to the elaboration, bottling, aging and commercialization of wines from different Spanish appellations of origin.
Our goal
The aim of MGH Wines is to produce wines of the highest quality, committed to the land in which they are born. A new vision of quality with plantations of classic varietals, preservation of ancient vines, reapplication of artisan techniques and the use of advanced technology, results in wines of international level.
Elaboration
MGH Wines produces wines inscribed under different DO's, some of them, as the Ribeira Sacra ones, in our own facilities and the rest acting through the maquila system, that is, taking advantage of the potential of the facilities of the wineries registered in the different DO's, but always taking care of the 'vinification protocols' and controlling the vineyards from which the grapes are extracted.
Human Resources
A wide and experienced human team covers all areas of the group, starting from the main part, our winemaker and all the necessary staff to achieve our goal, bringing the highest quality wines to your table.
Our DO
MGH Wines elaborate Senda Verde wines in three different DO belonging to Galicia and to the border area of León.
DO Rías Baixas
In its few years of existence, the Rías Baixas DO, located in the northwest of Spain, has been at the top of quality Spanish white wines. Not in vain, it is here where the great terroir of the Spanish white is located. Its intense aromatic qualities (far superior to those of any other grape variety) give the Albariño extraordinary characteristics.
DO Ribeiro
Traditionally, the Ribeiro wines are made by careful mixtures of native varieties, each of them contributing their peculiarities to give rise to increasingly surprising wines. Of all of them, the Treixadura is the white grape queen of the Ribeiro vineyard. It is also responsible for placing the wines of this DO on the map of the Galician wines and, therefore, on the map of the whites of Spain.
DO Bierzo
The region of El Bierzo, that gives name to this Appellation of Origin mainly based on the red caste Mencía, is a natural depression located to the northwest of the province of Leon by which the Sil river and its tributaries pass. The history of the vineyard in the Bierzo dates back 2,000 years back in time when the Roman legions of Trajan introduced vine growing in the area. The Godello white grape variety from DO Bierzo wines is unique and highly valued, given its limited production, as it represents only 4% of the grapes grown in the region.
