Luis Anxo Rodríguez created a small family winery in 1988 in Paixón, in the municipality of Arnoia. It has 2.7 hectares of vineyards spread over 29 plots.

Tasting Note of A Torna Dos Pasas Escolma
A Torna Dos Pasas Escolma is a complex and balanced wine. The time in bottle has polished the tannins giving way to refined notes of ageing. It is a wine like its author, serious, austere and with a lot of character.
