Galicia wine: green Spain's fresh, coastal style
In the lush northwest of Spain, Galicia stands out above all for its wines. Galician wines are light, fresh and slightly acidic, a style shaped by the region's cool, rainy Atlantic climate, which sets it apart from the warmer, fuller wines of the Spanish interior. Bordering Portugal, Galicia shares much of its neighbor's soils and conditions, and its wines are often more akin to Portuguese styles than to other Spanish regions.

Albarino, Rias Baixas and the six DOs
Galicia's star grape is Albarino, the aromatic, high-acid white behind the famous wines of Rias Baixas and Cambados, prized for peach, citrus and saline notes. The region has almost 10,000 hectares of vineyards across six Denominations of Origin: Rias Baixas, Ribeiro, Ribeira Sacra, Valdeorras, Monterrei and Viños da Terra. Alongside crisp whites you will also find expressive reds from grapes like Mencia in Ribeira Sacra, plus the white Treixadura of Ribeiro.
Serving and food pairing
Serve Galician whites well chilled: their bright acidity and salinity make Albarino a near-perfect match for the region's famous seafood, from octopus a feira to clams, oysters and grilled fish. The lighter Mencia reds pair nicely with charcuterie, roast poultry and lighter meat dishes. These are wines built for the table and for warm-weather drinking.
