The winery is located facing the ancient monastery of Santo Estevo de Ribas de Sil, which during the Middle Ages owned the vines that we continue to harvest today, although its origin dates back to Roman times. The area is an ideal setting for peace and tranquillity. Heroic wine–growing, consisting of manual labour on terraces, strives to maintain this vine–growing tradition along with innovative processes, which makes it possible to open new horizons, relying on a differentiated processing of its products. This objective is achieved by reducing quantity to achieve high quality, making it possible to reach the most qualified and demanding palates with highly expressive wines. Pena das Donas markets three wines:
