Eulogio Pomares is recognized for producing exceptional wines in Rías Baixas, leveraging both the family-run Zarate label and his own cellar. In February 2026, during a tasting session at Simplesmente Vinho in Porto, I had the opportunity to sample several of his creations alongside Eulogio and Rebeca.
