Doña Blanca is a white Spanish grape variety most commonly grown in the northern regions of Spain, such as Bierzo and Ribeira Sacra. The grape variety is known for its fruity taste and high acidity, and it is often used in dry white wines.
The Doña Blanca grapes thrive best in a cool climate with high humidity, and they require good soil with good drainage to achieve the best quality. The grapes ripen late compared to many other grape varieties, which means that they are typically harvested at the end of September or October.
Wines made with Doña Blanca grapes are known for their fresh and lively taste, with notes of citrus fruits and grass. They are often light in color and have a good acidity that makes them suitable for pairing with seafood.
