Attis Winery and Vineyards
Liquid Craftsmanship from Salnés • Galicia
"Wines of the sea, granite, and tradition: the most authentic interpretation of the Galician terroir under the direct influence of the Atlantic."
The Untamed Terroir of the Salnés Valley
Located in Meaño (Pontevedra), Attis is the life project of the Fariña brothers, who have redefined artisan viticulture in the heart of Rías Baixas. Their philosophy is based on absolute respect for the marine ecosystem and the use of the traditional Galician pergola system.
Under the technical direction of the prestigious winemaker Jean-François Hébrard, the winery has integrated spontaneous fermentation processes and the use of large format wooden foudres, positioning their labels as benchmarks within our selection of Spanish wines.

Pillars of Innovation and Tradition
Lees Aging and Structure
Attis sculpts the unctuousness of its premium white wines through meticulous work on lees, recognized by international critics at the Decanter World Wine Awards.
Attis Mar: Underwater Evolution
Pioneers in underwater enology in the Ría de Arousa, Attis ages its Albariño under the ocean. This technique, analyzed by the Galician Institute of Food Quality (AGACAL), harnesses hydrostatic pressure for a unique evolution.
Biodynamic Commitment and Manual Harvest
Attis complements its minimal intervention philosophy with biodynamic management of its vineyards, avoiding herbicides and prioritizing the biodiversity of the Atlantic ecosystem. Harvesting is done exclusively by hand, in small boxes, to preserve the integrity of the bunches before pressing. This artisanal care, uncommon even within the D.O. Rías Baixas itself, allows each bottle to faithfully reflect the saline and mineral character of the Salnés Valley, consolidating Attis as one of the most respected Galician wineries for its authenticity and respect for the Atlantic terroir.
Frequently Asked Questions about Attis Winery
What is the ideal pairing for an Attis Albariño?
Given their marked salinity and freshness, they are the perfect accompaniment to shellfish, white fish, and our selection of salty aperitifs.
Why is it considered a "minimal intervention" winery?
Because the use of indigenous yeasts and the absence of aggressive fining agents allow the wine to express the true character of the granite soil of Salnés.
