Spanish white wine - Pinot Grigio?

[Raisinette]

Hello,

I'm not at all familiar with Spanish white wines but am interested in trying some. I mostly drink Pinot Grigio at home - do they have that in Spain, or do they have something similar?

Thanks for any tips!

Pinot Grigio is an Italian wine. It is available in Spain in some stores but will cost far more than a Spanish wine.

 

Try a Rueda. If you like Pinot Grigio you will probably like this.

Actually Pinot Grigio is just the italian name for Pinot Gris. It's thought to have it's history traced back to Burgandy as a mutation of Pinot Noir; hence I think you'd have to call it a French wine.

I drink almost nothing except Italian pinot grigio EXCEPT when I can find a Spanish alberano. I'll be in Barcelona in 10 days and I'm looking forward to finding it. I think you'll like it. I've not tried Rueda but I might.

I would definitely recommend a Spanish Albariño if you like Pinot Grigio.

 

Most will come from the Rías Baixas region of Spain.

 

The Rueda (origin) region of Spain produces several very popular wines as well, including verdejo , MARQUES DE RISCAL is a very famous and popular label.

Yes the Abarino wine from Galicia is very nice. You could also try the Blancs Pescador, from the Catalan region, Ribeiro also from Galicia.

 

There are also Rioja white wines. However, IMHO the Spanish reds are far superior to the white wines.

Thanks for all the feedback, I knew 'someone' on here would be able to help me out! Now I have a few options to try and am looking forward to doing so!

Slainte/Cheers!

You might look into a cava as well if you like a little sparkle with your crisp whites.:)
