Green region of the Spanish Atlantic north-west, with heroic mountain viticulture (350–700 m, slopes >30%) on schist soils in the south-west, a cool oceanic climate. Albarín Blanco is the autochthonous white king: taut with citrus, white flowers, green apple and an Atlantic mineral note. Mencía leads in reds with red fruits, herbs and supple tannins. Albarín Negro, Carrasquín and Verdejo Negro are rare endemic reds.

Light, fruity reds with intense ruby colour, silky tannins and a supple palate, showing simple aromas of red fruits (cherry, raspberry), plum, soft spices and floral notes. A thirst-quenching style to drink young. Now marginal in Germany, preserved for its genetic value in varietal collections and as a parent of Dornfelder (with Helfensteiner). German variety created in 1929 at Weinsberg (Portugieser × Blaufränkisch).
