One of the main factors that made the presence of vineyards possible was the Mediterranean-oceanic climate. In 1945 the DO was recognized by Ministerial Order, and since then, they have opted to recover native varieties such as Godello and Mencía. The vineyard areas of this Denomination are spread across the municipalities of A Rúa, Carballeda de Valdeorras, Larouco, O Barco, O Bolo, Petín, Rubiá and Vilamartín.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe production areas occupy a large part of the Sil, Xares and Bibei river basins. In them, the climate is drier than in the rest of Galicia, mixing the Atlantic influence with continental features. The average temperature is about 11ºC and the rainfall rate ranges between 850 and 1,000 mm. annual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe soils are varied, slaty, granitic, sandier, and even those that sit on sediments and terraces. Thanks to this variety of soils we find two single-varietal wines, the white from Godello and the red from Mencía.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe authorized grape varieties are: For whites, preferably, Godello, and also, Dona Branca and Palomino or Jerez. For the reds, preferably Mencía and Sousón, but also Brancellao, Merenzao or María Ardoña, Negreda, Garnacha Tintorera, Alicante, Tempranillo and Grao Negro.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStore\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRafael Palacios\u003c\/strong\u003e , located in the westernmost part of the Valdeorras region, achieves its extensive catalog of wines, thanks to the sandy soil that is formed by the natural degradation of granite and the presence of quartz.
