Spanish White Wine: Crisp Albariño, Verdejo & Coastal Whites

Popular Spanish White Wine Styles

Albariño is the star, grown in the rainy, Atlantic region of Rías Baixas in Galicia. Zesty and aromatic, with peach, citrus and a salty, sea breeze freshness, it is a natural with seafood.

Verdejo, from Rueda in the centre, is crisp and herbal, with green apple, fennel and a lively bite. It is Spain's answer to a zippy, everyday white.

In Rioja, the Viura grape makes fresh, gently textured whites, while Godello from Galicia offers a richer, rounder style with lovely depth.

How to Serve Spanish White Wine

Serve Spanish whites well chilled, around 8 to 10 degrees, to keep all their zesty freshness. A standard white wine glass is all you need.

Drink them young and fresh, within a year or two of the vintage, when their bright fruit is at its liveliest.

Food Pairing Ideas

Albariño is a dream with seafood, from grilled prawns and oysters to a plate of calamari.

Verdejo and Viura suit salads, goat cheese and lighter tapas, while richer Godello can handle roast chicken and creamy dishes.

What Is Albariño?

Albariño is Spain's most celebrated white grape, the pride of Rías Baixas on the country's rugged Atlantic coast. It thrives in that cool, damp climate, right beside the sea.

The result is a white of real character: bright and aromatic, with stone fruit, citrus and a distinctive salty, mineral freshness that makes it irresistible with seafood.

If you love a crisp, characterful white, Albariño is one to seek out.
