Ribeiro may not be the first thing on your radar when you think of Galicia, but this wine region is a historical powerhouse and deserves much more recognition than it gets.

Ribeiro is Galicia's oldest wine growing area, dating back to 1932
Ribeiro is located in south-central Galicia, on the northwestern edge of the province of Ourense and bordering the province of Pontevedra to the southwest. Its 2,500 hectares of vineyards spread out from the central hub of Ribadavia, and extend to the north, south, and west, hugging the Avia, Miño, and Arnoia river valleys.

Tasting Notes: 

This is a very refreshing, fruit forward, low alcohol white wine that has aromas of Jasmine, pear and Kiwi.

Food Pairing: Pairs well with fish, shellfish, curry, sushi, Mediterranean cuisine, vegetarian dishes and fresh cheeses
