RIAS BAIXAS

Zone

Rías Baixas, c'est en fait quatre zones distinctes :
- Au nord, les coteaux peu pentus de Val do Salnés, sur la rive gauche de la Ría de Arosa, jouissent de la meilleure réputation.
- Soutamaior, de l'autre côté de Pontavedra, est leur prolongement naturel
- Au bord du Miño, les terrasses alluviales d'El Rosal, aux sols issus de la décomposition des ardoises
- Les petites vallées fluviales de Condado del Tea, à la frontière portugaise, à proximité de la D.O. Ribeiro.
