While the UK wine market continues to contract, there's one region quietly, and dramatically, bucking the trend. Galicia, Spain's Atlantic secret.
While the UK wine market continues to contract, there's one region quietly, and dramatically, bucking the trend.
Galicia, on Spain's wild Atlantic coast, is producing wines of genuine excitement: Albariño is growing at 5% and commanding a higher average price premium over other whites; Godello drawing comparisons to white Burgundy; and Mencía landing elegantly between Pinot Noir and Syrah at ready to seize the moment consumers are looking for lighter, fresher reds.
This is a region with stories to tell; from ancient terraced vineyards, near-vertical canyon walls, and a landscape more reminiscent of Scotland than Spain. And stories like these sell bottles.
We've gathered a selection of outstanding Galician wines to help you capture the opportunity: wines with real provenance, genuine consumer pull, and the kind of discovery factor that keeps customers coming back.
