Albariño wine party, a Spanish celebration
Spain´ Pontevedra (where you can find hotels in Vigo) is one of the most prettiest provinces in all of Spain. There is a Pontvedra leyend that says that it was founded by Teucro, a famous warrior who was never able to forget his old home of Troy which is why he decided to found this place Pontevedra because it reminded him of his old hometown. Like this unusual and interesting leyend there are many festivals and parties that are celebrated throughout the region every single year. Today we will talk about the second most important wine festival there exists in all of Spain . The wine party of Albariño. It is celebrated every August since 1953. It is considered to be one a very interesting things for tourists and thousands of people come to this big event. The typical wine from Galicia is known as “Albariño” , because it is sweet due to it´s albariño grape. They are dry, refreshing and full of body wines. This unique flavor is due to it´s acidity and sweetnes that comes in the grape. I am pretty sure you must be wondering what the big deal is and why there is a great big festival that lasts abour 5 days in honor of this wine. At this festival there are more wines than you can imagine and everyone (within the age limit) is invited to try them all. At this festivity there are all kinds of people. We have the people that have no clue about what wine should taste like and seem to only want to do the sport of drink, drink and drink. On the other hand we have people that are aficionados of wine and will taste and test each wine that they are able to drink. So for now make a note in your calendar, August, the month where Pontevedra, Spain will have an exceptional wine festival that you might not want to miss.
