About this region

A região-bandeira de vinhos brancos da Galiza, junto aos estuários atlânticos do verdejante noroeste espanhol. A Albariño reina aqui, dando brancos aromáticos, salinos e de acidez elevada, talhados para o marisco da região. Os solos graníticos e o clima marítimo fresco e chuvoso mantêm os vinhos frescos, minerais e inconfundivelmente costeiros.

Galicia's flagship white-wine region, hugging the Atlantic estuaries of the country's green north-west. Albariño rules here, giving aromatic, saline, high-acid whites built for the region's seafood.
