Refined and smooth, the Treixadura grape is a white grape, the jewel of the Ribeiro vineyard. It sprouts and ripens slowly, therefore it is sensitive to altitude. It is grown mainly in valleys and slopes which are well-orientated.

Ribeiro is located in south-central Galicia, on the northwestern edge of the province of Ourense and bordering the province of Pontevedra to the southwest. Its 2,500 hectares of vineyards spread out from the central hub of Ribadavia, and extend to the north, south, and west, hugging the Avia, Miño, and Arnoia river valleys.
