Terras Gauda
Following the wine-growing revolution in Galicia that was triggered by the setting-up of the D.O. Rías Baixas designation of origin José María Fonseca the winery’s current Chairman began to see the wine world more clearly and from his position on the Board managed and supported the development of wine-growing and oenology courses as well as a host of partnerships related to the art of winemaking. From a private initiative and spurred by the setting-up of Viñedos do Rosal and Adegas das Eiras. the founding partners’ original dream of making a firm commitment to O Rosal wines began to be realised. He winery’s philosophy was that Albariño being such a noble variety could benefit greatly from a union with other native strains to provide it with subtle new qualities and so further enhance the already strong reputation of O Rosal wines. Over the years the original two companies have merged into one called - logically given the prestige and recognition achieved by our leading brand - Bodegas Terras Gauda meaning joyous land.
