In the heart of Galicia’s “Golden Mile,” where the Ribeiro sun warms the ancient terraces of the Avia Valley, a revolution is being bottled. At the helm of this movement is Inma Pazos, a winemaker whose precision and passion have made Coto de Gomariz a beacon of modern Spanish viticulture.
As we celebrate Women’s Month, there’s no better time to spotlight a woman who isn’t just making wine—she’s channeling the very geology of her homeland into liquid art.
The Architect of the Avia Valley
Inma Pazos didn’t just fall into winemaking; she mastered it through a blend of science and soul. With a background in Chemical Sciences and Enology, Inma joined Coto de Gomariz in 2009. While many winemakers focus solely on the cellar, Inma views the vineyard as a living history book.
She works alongside the Carreiro family, the guardians of the oldest wine-producing land on the Iberian Peninsula (dating back to the 10th century). For Inma, being a winemaker in Ribeiro means more than just crushing grapes; it means protecting 32 hectares of biodiversity and local heritage.
Why Inma is a Leader in the Field:
- The Power of Native Grapes: She champions the “forgotten” varieties of Galicia, like Treixadura and Sousón, giving them a global stage.
- Biodynamic Harmony: Inma follows the natural rhythms of the moon and stars, often bottling on “Flower Days” to ensure the wine captures the peak of its floral and energetic profile.
- A Master of Terroir: She has the rare gift of making you “taste” the soil—from the bright acidity of granitic sand to the deep structure of schist and clay.
💜 Celebrating Women in Wine: A Shared Legacy
The wine world has historically been a male-dominated landscape, but Inma Pazos represents the “New Galicia”—a generation of women who are leading with expertise and ecological consciousness.
Inma’s presence at Coto de Gomariz is a testament to the power of female leadership in agriculture. She doesn’t just manage production; she spearheads the winery’s global reach through projects like Ailalá-Ailalelo and Los Vinos de Miguel, ensuring that the small village of Gomariz is talked about in the finest wine bars from New York to Tokyo.
A Toast to Progress
This Women’s Month, when you pour a glass of Coto de Gomariz, you aren’t just drinking a Galician white; you’re supporting a vision of viticulture that is sustainable, historical, and female-led. Inma Pazos is proof that when you respect the land, the land tells a story worth listening to.
