Important Compliance Requirements

FedEx and other carriers we might occasionally use can only deliver wine to customers who are 21 years or older. Someone must be at the address to receive the package, carriers don't just drop a package and leave. They must ensure the person receiving the wine is 21 or older.


Re-shipping a Package

If a package is returned to us after three failed delivery attempts, we can only re-ship the wine upon payment of a re-shipping fee, to be determined based on the shipping address and number of bottles. Shipping wine is extremely expensive. We are sorry about this, but we have no other choice. Please make sure there's always someone at the address you enter as your shipping address.

If you'd like to receive a refund for a package that was returned to us after FedEx made three delivery attempts, we can do that but we must keep a $20 refund fee; FedEx charges us a lot of money for returns, unfortunately, I can't stress this enough.

For any change of address, please contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 1-2 days from placing the order or we cannot guarantee we'll be able to reroute or change your order's shipping address.


Canceling an Order

If you'd like to cancel an order after it's been shipped, we can do so upon payment of a small cancellation fee – the amount depends on the size of the order. Carriers charge us a lot of money to recall a package en-route.


Heat/Frost damage

We are not responsible for heat- or frost-related issues. We offer ice-packs upon request. Please let us know if you think that there could be heat-related issues. If we don't hear anything from you regarding weather issues before an order is shipped, or if you don't request a hold due to the weather, we are not responsible for heat/frost damage.

Producer profile

Bodegas Carballal

Carballal is a second-generation family-run winery, currently composed of 7 brothers involved in the project. Their father, Benito Vázquez, was one of the promoters for the Appellation of the Rías Baixas back in the 1970s. The estate is small, 15 hectares, owned by the Vásquez Abal family, who has been working their land for over 40 years.

The grapes are grown in two estates: Carballal (oak forest) with 3.4 hectares of old vines planted in 1978, and A Granxa (the farm) with 2.4 hectares of younger vines. Trellises built with local granite stone, on which the vegetation is trained horizontally, are a feature of the vineyards. Permanent vegetal cover allows aromatic herbs to establish and maintains biodiversity. Plague and disease control is carried out reducing phytosanitary applications to a minimum through precision agriculture.

The harvest is processed by gravity: grape reception, destemming, maceration, pressing and draining through to the static settling of the musts. Work in the vineyard, with balanced fertilization and the absence of phytosanitary treatments during the August-September ripening period, allows for a healthy harvest with indigenous yeasts on the grape skins that carry out alcoholic fermentation. Stainless steel vat fermented and aged.

Wine region

Rias Baixas, Spain

The winery is located in Salnés Valley, Cambados, sub-region of Rías Baixas. The climate in Rías Baixas is Atlantic with a high rainfall average of about 1200mm per year. In summer, Salnés has a micro-climate similar to the Mediterranean, which suits the maturation period of the grapes.
