📍 O Rosal
Terraces near the mouth of the Miño.
O Rosal is a subzone of Rías Baixas, on the Miño river, and its wines must be at least 70% Albariño and Loureiro. That rule is what sets the subzone's style.
The vines cover over 300 hectares on granite and alluvial soils along the river. O Rosal was one of the three original subzones of the DO when it was created in 1988.
