The five Galician Designations of Origin have finished the 2026 campaign with a record 78.5 million kilos, surpassing the previous high of 77.8 million set in 2011. The growth is driven by Ribeiro, Monterrei, Valdeorras and Ribeira Sacra.

Valdeorras closed at 8,100,000 kilos, up 8%, with the first musts pointing to a vintage of great quality. Ribeira Sacra reached 5,446,859 kilos, up 17.9%, and its Godello passed one million kilos for the first time.
