The Basque Country, an Autonomous Community in northern Spain, is divided into three provinces Álava, Guipuzcoa, and Vizcaya. It sits on the extreme western end of Spain's border with France, where the Pyrenees Mountains lie and has hundreds of miles of coastline on the Bay of Biscay.
Wine-making is nothing new to the Basques. Like many parts of Spain, vineyards in the Basque Country have been tended since the Iberian Peninsula was part of the Roman Empire. It seems only appropriate that most of the wines produced in the region are light, fresh white wines, since Basques have been fishermen for thousands of years, and there are many traditional fish and seafood dishes in the Basque cuisine. There are currently four Denominaciones de Origen or DOs.
