Eladio Piñeiro Rural Wines

In the early 1980s, Eladio Piñeiro established his first winery in the Spanish region of Rías Baixas, before its official status as a D.O. appellation was granted. He gained recognition and a reputation for producing exceptional Albariño wines, becoming a notable figure in the region’s winemaking community.

In January 2003, Eladio Piñeiro made the pivotal decision to sell his winery but retained ownership of his best vineyards throughout Galicia.

Motivated by his family and a desire to return to his roots, he began a new venture, Frore de Carme, meaning "The Flower of Carmen" in Galician. In this project, named after his wife, Carmen, he is focusing once again on Albariño vines.

This new chapter in his winemaking journey emphasizes traditional Albariño wines with extended lees aging, which adds complexity and depth to the wines.

Piñeiro’s meticulous vineyard practices and traditional methods ensure that Frore de Carme wines embody the rich terroir and unique characteristics of Galicia. The extended lees aging process enhances the wines, providing a distinctive texture and a nuanced flavor profile.

Frore de Carme continues to reflect Eladio Piñeiro’s passion for traditions and vineyards. He has been practicing byodinamic and organic since he started his project.
