Adega Pombal A Lanzada is a family winery overlooking the A Lanzada beach and the Ría de Arousa. They began by growing grapes for personal use before producing their first vintage in 2010. In 2012, they partnered with winemakers Dominique Roujou de Boubée and Laura Montero, launching their first wines made exclusively from estate-grown grapes. By 2014, all vineyards were converted to organic farming.
