Spring has officially sprung and it’s a season for longer days, warmer weather and lighter and brighter white wines. When you think of white wines, there are regions that immediately come to mind and others you typically rule out. Regions like Galicia are known for producing classic white wines, but others, like Ribera del Duero, and Priorat, are historically known for their reds, and often, left out of the white wine conversation. Each of the wines below is unique in its own way, paying homage to their regions or breaking boundaries.
Here are ten springtime white wines to try now….
