Ribeiro is a wine region located in the northwest of Spain, specifically in the Galicia area. It is known for its unique white wines, primarily made from the Albariño grape, which thrive in the region's cool, wet climate. The vineyards are often situated on steep slopes near the Ribeira Sacra river, contributing to the distinct flavor profiles of the wines.
The Ribeiro region has a long history of winemaking, dating back to Roman times. It is characterized by its diverse terroir, which includes granite and slate soils. In addition to Albariño, other grape varieties such as Treixadura and Godello are also cultivated, adding to the complexity of the wines produced in this area.
