Galicia
Galicia, Spain, is celebrated for its fresh and aromatic white wines, particularly Albariño, along with elegant reds like Mencía. Located in the country’s northwest, Galicia is influenced by the Atlantic Ocean, which creates a cool, damp climate with abundant rainfall, perfect for preserving acidity and freshness in the wines. The region’s diverse terroirs range from granite and slate soils in Rías Baixas to clay and schist in Ribeira Sacra, where steep terraced vineyards hug the riverbanks.
