Spanish wines are some of the most flavorful and varied in the world. From crisp whites to bold reds, each wine tells the story of its region. Spain’s wine regions are so unique that they have something called Denominations of Origin (DO), basically, official regions that guarantee the wine comes from a specific area and follows certain rules to maintain quality. Let’s take a laid-back journey through some of Spain’s best wine regions and highlight some of the top wines from our collection.
1. Rías Baixas DO (Albariño)
If you love fresh, fruity whites, Rías Baixas is your go-to. Located in Galicia, right by the coast, this region is famous for Albariño, a white wine that’s crisp, zesty, and packed with citrus flavors. Perfect for seafood or just sipping on a sunny day!
We’ve got a standout Albariño from this region:

2. Penedés DO (Cava & Still Wines)
Penedés, near Barcelona, is a cool region known for its sparkling Cava, as well as some fantastic still wines. The area’s diverse climate lets them grow a wide range of grapes, like Xarel·lo, Parellada, and even Chardonnay. Whether you’re into bubbles or still wines, Penedés has got you covered.
