[Trade] D.O. Rias Baixas Roadshow 2019

As part of its inaugural Asia roadshow to promote its wineries in this region, Spain’s D.O. Rias Baixas will be coming to Singapore on 13 June 2019 for a trade exhibition and wine masterclass.

Managing Director of the D.O. Rias Baixas, Ramon Huidobro will lead a group of eleven wineries showcasing wines made with Albariño and many other unique wines from D.O. Rias Baixas for the first time in Asia. This follows a trend in the number of export delegations visiting Singapore in recent years.

The cornerstone of the Rias Baixas appellation is the Albariño grape variety, which currently makes up 94% of the vineyards registered in the appellation. Other indigenous grape varieties are grown in the Rias Baixas appellation, such as Loureria Blanca (or Marques), Treixadura, Caiño Blanco, Torrontés and Godello. Some red grape varieties are also produced, such as Caiño Tinto, Espadeiro, Loureira Tinta, Souson, Menci, Pedral and Brancellao.

The Rias Baixas appellation covers five sub-zones: Val do Salnés, Condado do Tea, O Rosal, Soutomaior and Ribeira do Ula.

The eleven wineries that will be showcasing their wares are:

• Bodegas GRANBAZÁN
• Bodegas Chaves
• Casa Monte Pío
• Bodegas Larchago
• Notas Frutales de Albariño
• Pazo Señorans
