Up in Spain’s green, rainy northwest, Galicia feels worlds away from the sun-baked stereotype of Spanish wine. The Atlantic influence keeps things cool and damp, and the granite soils give the wines a saline, mineral edge that pairs naturally with the region’s famous seafood. Albariño from Rías Baixas is the star, an aromatic white with bright acidity, while inland areas like Ribeira Sacra are reviving steep terraces of Mencía for fresh, perfumed reds. For anyone who loves coastal, food-friendly wines with a sense of place, Galicia delivers.
