Rias Baixas

| Aragon | Bierzo | Rioja | Ribera del Duero | Penedes | Rias Baixas | Priorato | Navarra | Jerez |

  • This region resides in Spain’s northwestern Galician region
  • Well-known for its Albarino grapes (90% of its production)
  • The traditional white grape varietals allowed in the production of DO wine include: Albariño Loureira, Treixadura, Caiño, Torrontés (used as a blender grape in Galicia, but used frequently as a single varietal in Argentina)
  • This may be evident of the massive migration of Galicians to Argentina, where Argentines even refer to Spaniards as “Gallegos”
  • Grapes allowed in the DO for red wine production include Mencía and Brancellao
  • Wine Labels from Galicia nearly always use Gallego (Galicians’ own language that resembles a mix of Portuguese and Spanish)
