Galicia has some unique wine regions, like Ribeira Sacra, Valdeorras and Rías Baixas. The wines made in the lush and green coastal zone of Rías Baixas of Galicia are arguably Spain’s best whites. The main grape here is the aromatic Albariño, other varieties include Treixadura and Loureiro. Albariño wines with their fresh, peachy fruit are often drunk young, but then wines made from old vines tend to have excellent capacity for aging. The vines are trained on pergolas, so that the grapes are shaded from the sun during the hottest part of the year, and are far enough off the ground to protect them from roaming wild animals.
