Galicia


See Galicia producers

Galicia lies in the rain-soaked north-western corner of Spain, famed for its tradition of seafood, its picturesque estuaries on the Atlantic coast and its lush green valleys covered with steep, terraced vineyards. 

Galicia is home to five DO appellations: 

  • Ribeira Sacra,
  • Ribeiro,
  • Valdeorras,
  • Monterrei and the most famous of all,
  • Rias Baixas

Albariño is the signature grape of the region, usually made as a modern, mouth-watering white without barrel fermentation.  

Other varieties include Godello, Treixadura, Loureira and Torrontes, which produce crisp, aromatic, refreshing whites.  The highly-promising Mencia (usually made as a single varietal wine) and to a lesser extent Garnacha, Caino, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon produce fruity, red Joven and Crianza wines ideal for early drinking.
