In the heart of Galicia, where the steep rocks are root, cradle and shelter, and the earth is transformed into wine, ViniGalicia Familia Bodeguera was born. It was in Chantada, in 1940, when Manuel Méndez and Maruja Otero founded Casa Penouzos, a small establishment dedicated to catering and wine sales. This quickly became a place of reference, recognized and valued in the area. Years later, with the help of their children, they decided to dedicate themselves exclusively to the world of wine and founded Bodegas Penouzos. The growing demand of the sector and the good performance of the wineries led the Méndez family to create the first company in the area fully dedicated to the wine industry, founding Vínicola de Chantada S.A. in 1976.

With almost 80 years of experience, ViniGalicia Familia Bodeguera has a presence in all the appellations of origin of Galicia, which allows it to offer a portfolio of premium products based on their origin. This ranges from bottled still and sparkling wines to sangrias, as well as D.O. Rías Baixas, Ribeiro, Ribeira Sacra, Valdeorras and Monterrei wines, in addition to spirits and liqueurs. Currently, its products are present in 25 countries, where they enjoy great acceptance among a wide range of consumers.
