RARE GRAPE VARIETAL RESOURCE

Its long growing cycle and natural acidity retention make it ideal for climate change resilience.

Caíño Blanco, a once-forgotten variety gaining traction, is now poised to shape Rías Baixas' identity, ensuring freshness in a warming climate.

Winemakers prize it for its naturally high acidity, aromatic intensity, and structure, but its low yields and long growing cycle have historically made it a difficult commercial proposition.

What once looked like a risky bet is increasingly looking prescient.
