Galicia, located in the northwest of Spain, is renowned for its distinctive and high-quality wines, benefiting from a unique climate influenced by the Atlantic Ocean. The region's cool, wet conditions and lush landscapes create an ideal environment for viticulture.
It is particularly famous for its exceptional white wines, notably from the Albariño grape, which produces crisp, aromatic wines with vibrant acidity and notes of citrus and stone fruit. The area also produces high-quality reds from varieties such as Mencía, known for its fresh, fruity character and subtle tannins.
Historically, Galicia’s winemaking tradition dates back to Roman times, but the region began to gain wider recognition in the late 20th century.
