About Spanish Wine

If any wine producing country with such history of traditional wine making can boast of a complete rejuvenation of wine styles and image, then it has to be Spain! From the northern vineyards of Navarra, Ribera del Duero, Rueda and Penedes travelling south through the arid plains of La Mancha and down to the southern province of Andalucía, so much has changed.

There is a constant buzz of excitement within all the regions where a new dimension to wine production that has been evolving on a gradual basis for some time, is now having an impact upon the rest of the ‘wine world’. Far sighted Spanish wine growers realised with so much global activity taking place that without a new and fresh attitude towards wine making and better improved methods of marketing, there is a good chance of being left in the shadows!

Old traditional wine styles still exist in many places, particularly Rioja and through fashion change, other areas also with a long history of wine making such as Priorat, have emerged as ‘the new wine on the block’. Other more vibrant wine styles have appeared using ‘international grape varieties’ such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Gewürztraminer and along with more indigenous varieties such as Verdejo, Macabeo and Albariño, prove they can not only exist side by side but also complement each other by providing a much greater selection of well made and interesting wines. The areas of Penedès and La Mancha have particularly entered this arena in spectacular fashion.
