Boal de Arousa is a family-owned and run winery which was started by Anselmo and Pura Tarrio in 1985. They replanted an historic plot of land called Vina de Louro which is a gentle hill surrounded by oak trees and Atlantic pines situated in the bay of Arousa in Galicia in North-West Spain. The wine is now made by their son, Jorge who just makes one wine from this single vineyard (Vina de Louro) which is named after its yellow soil, composed of quartz, clay and granite.
