Galicia / Green Spain

Galicia is called green spain due to its atlantic climate, cool temperatures and the fact that it is quite green and lush with vegetation.

Aluvial soils, from the two major rivers Mino and Sil (Xil)

Lots of rain, meaning less sun, meaning lower ABC whites, more humidity ripening

5 D.O.'s in Galicia and their most important grapes

 Ribiera - Treixedura
Rias Biaxas - Albarino
Valdeorras - Godello
Ribera Sacra - Bierzo
Monterrei
