Galician wine comes from the Galicia region in northwest Spain, known for its diverse climate and unique grape varieties. The region's proximity to the Atlantic Ocean provides a cool, humid environment that is ideal for growing grapes. The most famous wine styles include Albariño, a crisp white wine, and Mencía, a red wine with fruity and floral notes. Galicia is divided into five main wine-producing areas, each with its own distinct characteristics. The Rías Baixas DO is renowned for its white wines, while the Bierzo DO is celebrated for its red wines. The region's commitment to traditional winemaking methods and sustainable practices contributes to the quality and authenticity of its wines.
