The winery spirit of the family of Valdesil It has its origin in an endearing character, José Ramón Gayoso, viticulturist from Portela. This viticulturist plants the first vineyard entirely with the Godello variety, convinced of the potential of this native Valdeorras variety and against the currents of the time. Little by little, these plantations of small Pezas plots were expanded, choosing the best locations, in the surroundings of Portela. Years later, many of these parcels were sold to other viticulturists, remaining only owned the Pedrouzos farm.
But in the year 2001, the young branch of the family of Valdesil , began to recover those small pieces that had belonged to her family several generations ago, encouraged by the possibilities of the variety and the particularities of the Valdeorresa region, and infected with the illusion of that first winegrower, who, contrary to the tendencies of the At that time, he planted the oldest godello farm in Galicia today: Pedrouzos.
