What kind of wine is ribeiro?

The ribeiro grape brings with it both whites and reds. And it’s that, these Galician wines are made by mixing native varieties. Thanks to this, they contribute their peculiarities to obtain authentic and genuine wines that can only be achieved with this good blend of high quality.

Ribeiro Whites

Among the white Ribeiro wine varieties of these Galician wines we will differentiate between:

Preferred white: Treixadura, Torrontés, Godello, Albariño, Loureira, Lado and white Caíño.

Authorised white: Palomino and Albillo.

Next, we will explain a little more about each type of wine:

  • Treixadura: Also known as Verdello Louro, it is the second most widespread white grape variety, its medium-sized bunch and  oily skin make it ripen later. Very aromatic, floral, balanced and elegant wines.
  • Torrontés: The wines it produces are very aromatic and peculiar, with predominantly fruity and floral aromas and notes of hay.
  • Godello: Also known as Verdello, it is the most widespread white grape variety. Its main characteristic is a small and compact bunch that ripens quickly. Elegant, fruity,viscous and full-bodied wines.
  • Albariño: Less common  grape variety in the area. Its loose bunch makes it ripen late and is a complement to other varieties.
  • Loureira: Represents a very low percentage of the white grape  varieties grown in the area, scent of laurel and high acidity; used with other grape varieties. The stretched bunch and oily skin make it ripen later.
  • Lado: It is the sixth most represented native white grape variety in the area. It provides wines with peculiar fruity and spicy aromas with a fresh mouth  but short on extract.
  • White Caíño: Less common grape variety in the area. Its loose bunch makes it ripen late and is a complement to other varieties.

Red Varieties

Among the varieties of red grapes from Ribeiro Galician wines, we will differentiate between:

Preferred reds: Caíño longo, Caíño bravo, Caíño tinto, Ferrón, Sousón, Mencía and Brancellao.

Authorised reds: Garnacha Tintorera and Tempranillo.

  • Caíño Longo: It is characterised by its great aromatic potential and is not usually used as a monovarietal, but it is very common as a complementary product, giving wines complexity and aromatic intensity.
  • Caíño Bravo: Variety characterised by its intense freshness and acidity. It makes up only 0.02% of the production but it is generally mixed to achieve an aromatic contribution of fruits and citrus.
  • Caíño Tinto: Hardly widespread in the area, but no less important than the others. Fruity aroma and high acidity make this variety ideal for harvesting, always complementing it with the others.
  • Ferrón: Also called Ferrol, it is the fifth native red grape variety planted in D.O. Ribeiro. It is usually used mixed with other grape varieties, providing aroma and volume in the mouth to the wines.
  • Sousón: Very scarce in the area. When it is ripe it gives a lot of colour, strong aroma and significant body. This variety is ideal for aged wines.
  • Mencía: It is the most widespread red grape variety in the area. Medium and compact bunch. Late ripening. Its wines are cherry red in colour, with a marked fruity character from the forest and a long and elegant aftertaste. Well cultivated, it offers high quality wines with personality.
  • Brancellao: It is characterised by its good aromatic expression and viscous content. Agronomically, it is a variety of medium production, semi-erect and horizontal growth, which is easy to ripen.

As we can see, the Ribeiro wineries cover the tastes of anyone who knows how to taste a good wine. And it is that, not only do they offer both whites, as well as reds, but they have several types of bodies that give them strength to enjoy them both accompanied with a good meal, as well as tasting their flavour on its own.
