The shipwrecked sailors of Greek mythology were thought to be lured off-course by the irresistible Sirens but it's just as likely they were drawn to the racy Albariño wines being made along the Spanish coastline, either way, clever women were involved. By some estimates more than half of the winemakers in Spain’s coastal Rias Biaxas (pronounced ree-ahs-buy-shuss) appellation are women. Although no one in the region could offer me a specific number, it’s a safe bet to say that the winemaking here has a distinctly feminine voice rooted in years of history.
