Regional Variance
In the Rías Baixas area, where high yield is sacrificed for superior quality, vines tend to be on steep slopes high up from ground level, so that damp is unlikely to damage the grapes. Over-ripening is prevented by the leaf canopy above the grape.
The grape traversed the Portoguese-Spanish border, cultured in the northern part of the country along the Minho River as a drier, fuller-bodied and more aromatic alternative to the other prominent regional whites, Loureiro and Trajadura. In Portugal, it is known as Alvarinho (see that page for more details).
