About us
The objective of Boa Uva BV is to be the reference company for the import of
Galician wines to the Netherlands
A world of wines
Boa Uva BV is a Dutch company specializing in the import and distribution of wines from across Spain, with a special focus on the distinctive wines of Galicia.
The name Boa Uva means “Good Grape” in Galician, the native language of the region. Founder Manel Méndez chose this name to reflect his belief that every grape has value—there are no bad grapes, only different tastes and preferences.
Our mission was born out of the limited availability of Galician wines in the Dutch market. Known as “Atlantic wines,” Galician wines stand out for their natural acidity, strong structure, and vibrant minerality, characteristics that offer a unique and memorable tasting experience.
Manel personally curates Boa Uva’s wine selection, ensuring that every bottle in our collection offers the finest expression of Spanish winemaking. Whether you’re a connoisseur or a casual wine lover, we are committed to bringing you exceptional wines that will elevate any occasion.
Our ultimate goal is to become the leading importer of Galician wines in the Netherlands, making these extraordinary wines more accessible to Dutch wine enthusiasts.
Founder of Boa Uva BV
My name is Manel Méndez, founder of Boa Uva BV, and I was born in 1978 in A Coruña, Galicia, Spain.
I have been living away from my homeland since 2004, and during these years, I’ve deeply missed Galicia—its food, its wines, and its people. In Spain, we Galicians are known for our strong emotional ties to our land, a feeling we call morriña (homesickness in Galician).
My morriña became so powerful that, after eight years of living in the Netherlands and noticing the scarcity of Galician wines in the Dutch market, I decided to take action. That’s when I founded Boa Uva, which means “Good Grape” in Galician.
Boa Uva embodies both my Galician roots and my passion for wine, allowing me to share the best of my homeland with you here in the Netherlands.

Founder of Boa Uva BV
My name is Manel Méndez founder of Boa Uva BV and born in A Coruña, Galicia, Spain in 1978.
I have been living out of my mother land for the last 18 years. During this time, I was missing my beloved Galicia, its food, its wines, its people…
We, people from Galicia, are well known in Spain for our strong feelings and connection to our land, that we call “morriña” (homesick in Galego).
My morriña was so strong, that after 8 years living in The Netherlands and discovering the lack of presence of Galician wines on the Dutch market, I decided to establish Boa Uva (Good Grape in Galego).
Boa Uva represents a combination of my Galician roots and my passion for wines, bringing the best of me and my land for you to enjoy in The Netherlands.
