Arribes is a Spanish Denominación de Origen Protegida (DOP) for wines located in the southeast of the province of Zamora and the northeast of the province of Salamanca (Castile and León, Spain), along the border with Portugal on the banks of the River Duero.

The second theory says it could have been the Phoenicians at a much earlier date, making use of their fleets along the Duero and the port of Oporto.

The name Arribes derives from the Latin ad ripam, which means 'on the banks' (of the river Duero).

The presence of slate in the subsoil acts as a heat accumulator during the day and releases it slowly during the night.
