Valdeorras

Valdeorras 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 Godello-based white wines and Mencia reds from Galicia's inland eastern edge. Typical wines are textured whites with citrus, pear, herbs, and leesy depth; red wines with red fruit and stony freshness. The vineyard context is inland Galician valley conditions with slate, granite, clay, and alluvial deposits.
