Denomination of Origin (DO) Rías Baixas is renowned for the Albariño grape, a native variety that produces some of the world’s foremost white wines. Located in northwestern Galicia, a lush area known as Green Spain, Rías Baixas shares the same mineral-rich soils and cool climate as renowned regions like France’s Loire Valley, Marlborough in New Zealand, and the Rhine region of Germany. Elegant and food-friendly, the local Albariño variety has always been the flagship of this coastal Atlantic region and is a favorite with chefs, sommeliers and fine wine lovers.
Rías Baixas Wines
The styles of Rías Baixas Albariño range across five sub-regions — from a crisp, aromatic “melony” character in Val do Salnés, to a peachier, softer style in O Rosal, to more earthiness in Condado do Tea. While the different sub-regions express subtle differences, the wines all share a number of characteristics. A pale golden lemon color, Rías Baixas Albariño is crisp, elegant and fresh. Bone-dry and aromatic, the wines are packed with flavors of citrus, white peach, apricot, melon, pineapple, mango and honeysuckle. Many winemakers use techniques such as lees aging to develop a full range of Albariño styles including wines with longer aging potential.
FOR THE TRADE
Rías Baixas makes some of the world’s most elegant white wines and is home to the native grape variety, Albariño.
