Spanish White Wines
View Full Description [+ Read More]
Spain produces white wines across a diverse range of Atlantic and Mediterranean climates, with Verdejo from the high-altitude plateaus of Rueda, Albariño from the rain-soaked granite soils of Rías Baixas, and aromatic blends from Catalonia among its most distinctive expressions. The briny, mineral character of Galician Albariño is well represented through Fillaboa's estate-grown bottling and Do Ferreiro's old-vine Cepas Vellas, while Menade and Rey Santo demonstrate Rueda's signature citrus-driven Verdejo. Ameztoi brings the saline, effervescent quality of Getariako Txakolina from the Basque Coast, and Gramona's Gessami offers a fragrant Catalan counterpoint. Marques de Riscal extends its Rueda range into Sauvignon Blanc, reflecting the appellation's versatility. Across these producers, styles range from youthful and high-acid to structured bottlings built for short-term cellaring.
