Noelia Bebelia

ABOUT THE PRODUCER

Independent vignerons, business partners, and husband and wife team, Noelia Calvar and Simón Barcia set out to produce Albariño from Soutomaior a sub-region of Rias Baixas – considered by experts to be the best in the world. Noelia Bebelia is seven acre estate on the hillsides of the Verdugo river, which produces four styles of Albariño. The underlying philosophy of this small, terroir driven winery is to create premium wines that have a sense of time and place. Noelia and Simón take a minimalist approach to wine making. Their wines are not the typical Albariño. They create wines that illustrate what Albariño is capable of becoming under careful and gentle guidance of experienced hands.
