The Denominaci\u00f3n de Origen R\u00edas Baixas was recognized as such in 1988 and can be found in Galicia, fully integrated in the Atlantic Region. This designation includes five sub-areas: Ribeira do Ulla, Val do Saln\u00e9s, Soutomaior, Condado do Tea and O Rosal; all located in the South of Galicia. We are therefore talking about Atlantic Wines, elaborated in a mild climate where frequent rainfalls combine with the necessary sun hours to make the grapes fully develop.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
The DO R\u00edas Baixas hosts a wide range of different White grape varieties: Loureira Blanca or Marquis, Treixadura, Cai\u00f1o Blanco, Torront\u00e9s and Godello, but also some Red varieties as Cai\u00f1o Tinto, Espadeiro, Loureira Tinta, Sous\u00f3n, Menc\u00eda, Pedral and Brancellao.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
However, the flagship variety in this DO is the Albari\u00f1o grape, in fact, it represents 94% of the overall area of vineyards planted in the region. The Albari\u00f1o is a spherical, small-grained, golden grape, which yields an alcohol content raging from 12\u00ba to 13\u00ba and an acidity that can vary from 7 to 9 gr\/l.<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
As a result, the wines obtained from this cepage present a straw, bright, yellow color with greenish and golden reflections. On the nose, they have fine and distinguished, floral and fruity aromas that impress pleasantly, medium intensity and medium-long persistance. They are soft and fresh in the palate, well-bodied, with a fair alcoholic strength, a balanced acidity and harmonious and ample nuances. The aftertaste is pleasant, elegant and complete.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
