Cantabria, a small wine region nestled along the northern coast of Spain, is attracting renewed interest for its unique wines. The region boasts a microclimate shaped by the nearby Atlantic Ocean and the Cantabrian Mountains. Evidence suggests winemaking in Cantabria dates back to the Roman era, though it remained relatively obscure compared to other Spanish regions. Today, with only about 100 hectares under vine, Cantabria's wine production is very small but holds exciting potential. Local grape varieties like the white Hondarribi Zuri and the red Hondarribi Beltza are being rediscovered, and passionate producers are exploring the possibilities of this emerging wine region.
