Region: DO Rias Baixas
 

The spectacular success of Rías Baixas' fragrant, fruity white wines within a decade of winning DO status in 1988 gave Galician winemaking a new spirit of optimism. The area now produces some of Spain’s most sought-after white wines. Named after the flooded coastal valleys, or rías, that lead inland from the Atlantic, the zone’s reputation is based on the white Albariño grape, which has earned cult status in Spain.
 
 
Viña Bade
Viña Bade is located in the heart of the green rolling hills of Galicia. They have over 40 years of winemaking experience and now make wines from several of their different wineries throughout the region. Their Rías Baixas is a wonderful example of why Albariño is currently experiencing such demand ~ pure, clean aromas, fresh flavors, elegance in the glass ~ while still representing a great value.
