Galicia

Galicia – Atlantic wines from the green northwest of Spain

Galicia is not the Spain that most people have in mind. No scorching heat, no bone-dry soils – instead, Atlantic wind, rain, and lush green hills right above the sea. That is exactly what you taste in the wines of this region: fresh, lively, with a salinity and minerality that immediately makes you think of the coast and seafood.

The heart of Galicia is the Albariño, a white grape variety that is at home here like nowhere else. The wines from the Denominación de Origen Rías Baixas – the best-known wine-growing area in the region – are aromatic and fresh, with lively acidity and a character that makes them ideal companions for fish and seafood. Whether young and uncomplicated or as an aged prestige cuvée: Albariño from Galicia has a clear signature.
