Pazos del Rey

Monterrei Godello and Mencía from Galicia's mineral-driven Atlantic terroir.

Pazos del Rey operates in Monterrei, a distinctive subregion of Galicia in northwestern Spain known for its continental climate and mineral-driven white wines. The winery focuses on indigenous varieties suited to the region's terroir. Godello, Monterrei's signature white grape, forms the core of their portfolio—a variety prized for its aromatic intensity and textural complexity. The Pazo de Monterrey Raúl Boo Godello and Pazo de Monterrey Godello showcase the grape's range across different expressions. The winery also works with Mencía, a dark-skinned variety native to the region, which appears in their Pazo de Monterrey Mencía. Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, and Decanter have all assessed wines from Pazos del Rey, reflecting the winery's presence in serious critical evaluation. The wines reflect Monterrei's cool-climate conditions and granite-based soils, which impart freshness and mineral character to both white and red offerings.
