The D. O. Ribeira Sacra was created in 1996. This region is a wine production area that includes an area of 2,500 hectares of vineyards. This extension represents 5.2% of the land dedicated to the vine in Galician territory, encompassing parishes and 20 municipalities located along the banks of the Miño and Sil, in the north of Ourense and the south of the province of Lugo. It is grouped into five different subzones: Amandi, Chantada, Quiroga-Bibei, Ribeiras do Miño and Ribeiras do Sil.
