The winery produces a range of Albariño wines, each showcasing the unique characteristics of the different sub-regions within Rías Baixas. Their signature wine, La Val Albariño, is a blend of grapes from different plots in the Salnés Valley, resulting in a fresh and elegant wine with notes of citrus, stone fruits, and a hint of minerality. Their single vineyard wines, such as La Val Finca Arantei, are more complex and expressive, highlighting the unique terroir of each plot.

La Val
La Val is a wine producer based in the Rías Baixas appellation of Galicia, in northwest Spain. The estate focuses on white wines made from Albariño, the grape variety that defines this coastal denomination. Rías Baixas sits along the Atlantic coast, where the influence of the ocean shapes a cool, wet climate that distinguishes it sharply from most other Spanish wine regions.
Albariño grown in Rías Baixas typically produces wines with pronounced acidity, moderate alcohol, and aromatic profiles centered on stone fruit, citrus, and floral notes, often with a saline or mineral quality that reflects the proximity to the sea. The grape's thick skin helps it resist the humidity of the region and contributes texture to the finished wine. These characteristics make Rías Baixas Albariño a natural pairing with seafood, which is abundant along the Galician coast.
La Val produces the Orballo Albariño, a wine whose name references the Galician word for the fine oceanic mist common to the region. Orballo is a straightforward expression of the appellation, intended to reflect the aromatic freshness and crisp acidity that define the Rías Baixas style.
