Place & climate

  • Location: Farther inland along the Miño and Tea rivers, east of O Rosal.
  • Climate: Generally warmer and drier, with less direct ocean influence than the coast.
  • Soils & relief: Granitic ground, river deposits and valley slopes give a varied growing environment.

Grapes & label

  • Legal name: Rías Baixas Condado do Tea is a named-subzone white wine within the same DO.
  • Blend: Albariño and Treixadura together account for at least 70%.
  • Remainder: Other permitted white varieties may supply the balance.
  • Origin: The grapes must be grown and the wine made in this subzone.

Style & table

  • Grape anchor: Treixadura is an important companion to Albariño here.
  • Contrast: A warmer inland setting distinguishes this subzone from the cool coastal Salnés heartland.
  • At the table: Compare actual body and acidity before choosing between a delicate fish dish and a richer sauce.
