Galician Wines

Galicia is Spain's wild and rugged north-western corner, a land of dramatic coastline, lush green valleys and Atlantic rainfall that sets it apart from every other wine region in the country. This cool, maritime climate produces wines of extraordinary freshness and precision, most famously the vibrant Albariño of Rías Baixas, one of Spain's most celebrated whites, bursting with citrus, stone fruit and a saline minerality that makes it the ultimate seafood wine. Beyond Albariño, Galicia is also home to the complex, age-worthy whites of Ribeiro and Monterrei and the exciting reds made from native varieties like Mencía, making it one of the most rewarding regions in Spain to explore.
