Monterrei

Location: Spain

Legal name: DO Monterrei

Monterrei is a Spanish protected wine appellation in Galicia, useful for drinkers who want to move beyond the best-known Spanish regions. Its practical label identity is Galicia's warmer inland DO, known for aromatic whites and increasingly serious reds. Typical wines are dry whites with citrus, stone fruit, and floral notes; reds with red fruit, herbs, and medium body. The vineyard context is continental-influenced Galician valley vineyards with granitic, slate, and sandy soils.
