Spanish Wine
View Full Description [+ Read More]
Spain produces wine across a network of deeply distinct regions, from the Atlantic-cooled vineyards of the Basque Country to the sun-baked inland plateaus of Jumilla and Alicante. Rioja remains the country's most recognized appellation, where Tempranillo anchors age-worthy reds built on oak and time, as demonstrated by the long-established Marques de Murrieta Reserva. Getariako Txakolina in the north yields high-acid, low-alcohol whites and rosés from Hondarrabi Beltza and Hondarrabi Zuri, with Ameztoi's Rubentis a benchmark expression of that coastal style. Penedès contributes lightly sparkling vi d'agulla from Avinyo, while Garnacha-based reds from Alicante reflect the character of old-vine, arid-climate viticulture. The Galician coast, home to the botanicals behind Nordes Atlantic Gin, extends Spain's range into spirits. Across these regions, the range moves from youthful and textural to structured and cellar-worthy.
