Spain

The third largest country in terms of volume, Spain actually ranks first for most land under vine. Diversity, investment and innovation are the key factors bringing Spain back to the forefront of the wine world. For a long time, it was known only for its cheap quaffing reds, with the possible exception of Rioja which has always been held in high regard. But these days there is a wealth of choice in styles, varieties and prices. The most popular red varieties of Spain include Tempranillo and Garnacha (Grenache), while Albarino and Verdejo, Spain's leading white grapes, should also not be missed and perhaps deserve a little more of the limelight. Spain's premier quality regions are still Rioja, Ribera del Duero and Priorat. But there are countless others rehabilitating their reputations and tirelessly driving forward Spain's overall quality. Galicia, particularly the sub-region of Rias Baixas, is home to the deliciously crisp and floral Albarino variety and Jerez is the home of Sherry which offers a lifetime of discovery in its own right, Penedès is the heart of Spain's highly successful sparkling wine industry, and home to many of the country's most famous brand names. The list goes on and on. There's never been a better time to discover the fabulous wines of Spain.

Rioja

In a nutshell: Spain's most famous red... Rioja has traditionally been American oak's most expressive ambassador. The wine is made from a blend of Tempranillo and Garnacha (Grenache) grapes aged for a considerable number of years in the sweet, vanilla-scented warmth of small American oak barrels. The result of this prolonged ageing was to allow a high proportion of phenolics to be left behind in the bottom of the barrel, making bottled Rioja a relatively pale, gentle, soft wine reminiscent of strawberries and stewed fruit. It was this flattering, easily appreciated character, and the fact that fully mature examples did not cost very much, that made Rioja the first non-French wine to woo non-Spanish wine drinkers in the late 1970s.
