Quality wines from Galicia
Among all the types of Galician wines, white wines may be the most recognised. Perfect for pairing with fish or shellfish dishes, they are always on the table when you need them. And it is that they form an indispensable part of Galician gastronomy, since they have their own characteristics that differentiate them from any other white wine.
Of course, the climatic conditions and the land in which the grapes of this variety are grown make the types of Galician white wines stand out compared to other proposals. From the Rías Baixas Denomination of Origin to the Ribeiro Denomination of Origin, each of these varieties is special in its own way.

Of all the types of Galician wines, white wines are perhaps the most renowned. Perfect for pairing with fish or seafood dishes, they are always on the table when they are needed. They are an indispensable part of Galician gastronomy, as they have their own characteristics that differentiate them from any other white wine.

In the same way, Galician red wines have become relevant in recent years, thanks to their impressive personality and pleasant taste. An intense aroma that, due to the fact that its production volume is less than that of white wines, makes red wines a more exclusive and interesting variety.
Among the types of Galician wines that make up this variety, we can highlight the wines prepared with Mencía, Espadeiro or Merenzao grapes. All of them have fruity aromas, some more marked than others, as well as some notes of aromatic herbs, liquorice or oak. Without a doubt, a type of wine to take into account for any occasion.
We continue with our review of the classes of Galician wines with the rosés, which have begun to occupy an important position in the wineries of our land. Its production involves a series of processes that can be demanding, but Galician grape varieties respond very well to this system and can achieve great potential.
Within rosé wines, there are different Denominations of Origin that have very specific rules and processes. Usually, the grape varieties used are Mencía, Sousón, Merenzao, Brancellao, Caiño Tinto, Caiño Largo and Caiño Bravo; although the use of Garnacha Tintorera, Mouratón and Tempranillo is also authorised.
And we end our tour of the types of Galician wines with sparkling wines, a variety that has been around for over a hundred years but is now experiencing its best moment. Using white wines as a base, especially Albariño and Godello, it is possible to create a sparkling wine with a low alcohol content and a good level of acidity.
Among all the possibilities that Galicia offers for the production of this type of wine, there are some specific areas that stand out for their potential. The traditional Champenoise method is followed, somewhat expensive and in need of great understanding, but this results in a sparkling wine of the highest quality.
As you can see, there are types of Galician wines for all tastes and to accompany any meal or celebration. If you want to know which one is right for you, you just have to contact WINES.GAL.
