Ribeira Sacra DO wines. in the United States

Ribeira Sacra DO is divided into five subzones, including Amandi, Chantada and Quiroga-Bibei, rather than one continuous slope with uniform soils. Mencía offers the best-known red introduction, while Godello and other local whites add another view. Many vineyards occupy steep terraces, though site conditions vary. The spectacular landscape is part of the appeal; a named vineyard, subzone and producer help explain the wine more precisely.
