Monterrei is a Spanish Denominación de Origen Protegida (DOP) (Denominación de Orixe Protexida in Galician) for wines located in the southeast corner of the province of Ourense in Galicia, Spain. It covers the municipalities of Verín, Monterrei, Oimbra and Castrelo do Val.
Long a neglected DO, Monterrei became suddenly relevant and production has boomed as some of its wines were praised by wine critic Robert M. Parker, Jr. in March 2008.[2]
