Wines from Spain
Tradition, Terroir and Avant-Garde
"A journey through the diversity of the country with the largest vineyard area in the world, where history blends with technical innovation."
The Legacy of a Unique Land
Spain is a mosaic of geographical contrasts and one of the great wine powers of the world. According to official data from Foods and Wines from Spain, the peninsula is home to more than 600 grape varieties. The diversity of soils, climates and altitudes makes it possible to create wines that are authentic portraits of the landscape.
Today, Spain leads a revolution of Signature Wines, rescuing old varieties and elevating the expression of terroir, a trend backed by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food through its strict Protected Designations of Origin.
From the great reds of Rioja and Ribera del Duero to the Atlantic whites of Rías Baixas, the sparkling wines of Cava and the fortified wines of Jerez, Spanish wines reflect an exceptional diversity of regions, grape varieties and winemaking styles.
Pillars of Iberian Oenology
Age-Worthy Reds: Rioja and Ribera del Duero
Tempranillo reaches some of its most renowned expressions in these regions. The DOCa Rioja and the DO Ribera del Duero are international benchmarks for wines with structure, finesse and the capacity to evolve. Their different soils, altitudes and climates produce distinct profiles even within the same variety.
Whites of the Sea and Altitude
From the saline Albariño regulated by the DO Rías Baixas to the herbaceous freshness of Verdejo. Vibrant wines that capture the essence of the Atlantic and continental climates. Spain also offers whites made from varieties such as Viura, Godello, Xarel·lo and other traditional grapes.
Bubbles and Cult Fortified Wines
The sophistication of the traditional method is found at the Cava Regulatory Council, while the inimitable wines of Jerez are protected by the DO Jerez-Xérès-Sherry. Both styles represent two of the most recognizable expressions of the Spanish winemaking tradition.
Spanish Wines by Region and Style
The diversity of Spanish wines is best understood through their regions and appellations. Rioja and Ribera del Duero stand out for their great reds; Rías Baixas for its Albariño whites; Rueda for its Verdejo wines; Priorat for its reds of marked identity; Penedès for Cava; and Jerez for its historic fortified wines.
This diversity makes Spain one of the most interesting wine destinations for discovering different grape varieties, styles, winemaking methods and expressions of terroir.
