Spanish white wines are gaining popularity in recent years, despite being less popular than red wines. These wines are known for their lightness, original bouquets, and refreshing acidity. Viura is still the most popular grape variety, used to make both dry and sparkling wines. Other popular varieties include Malvasia, Albariño, and Verdejo. These wines boast notes of flowers, original tropical fruits, fresh herbs, citrus, and pepper in their bouquet.
The best white wines come from Rioja and Rueda and pair perfectly with traditional Mediterranean cuisine.
