Spanish wine includes not only red oak-aged Rioja and Ribera del Duero, but also sparkling Cava from Penedes or various styles of Sherry (Jerez). There are also refreshing whites from the Rias Baixas region and Priorat winemakers cultivating international grapes. Spanish wine and its culture are a major influence in the global industry. By combining traditional and modern winemaking techniques, Spanish winemakers keep pace with the world's best wineries and maintain their unique, easily recognizable style and approach. Spain is now the third largest wine producer in the world.
The most famous wine regions in Spain
Spanish wines are very different from each other due to the specificities of the regions and their production methods.
The Rioja region in the north of Spain is known for its red wines aged in oak barrels. Here, wines made from the red 'Tempranillo' grape predominate. They are fruity, juicy and have firm tannins. Rioja also produces white from 'Viura' grape. The Spanish wine made from them usually has a citrus, white stone fruit and pear aftertaste.
Although the Ribera del Duero region, like Rioja, is located in the north of Spain, the style of Spanish wine produced here is different. The red 'Tempranillo', 'Garnacha', 'Cabernet Sauvignon' and 'Merlot' grapes ripen more quickly thanks to the hot climate. The wine produced here is weightier and more concentrated than in Rioja, with higher tannins and a black fruit and berry finish.
The freshest Spanish white wines are made in the Rias Baixas region from 'Albariño' grapes. Due to the high rainfall and the proximity of the Miño and Umia rivers, this area is considered the wettest region in Spain. The cool maritime climate here is ideal for producing wines that are light, mineral, fresh and with a salty sea character.
Spain is famous not only for its oak-aged reds and light, summery whites, but also for its sparkling Cava from Comtats de Barcelona in Catalonia. Cava is made using the same technology as Champagne or Franciacorta, but from the grapes 'Macabeo', 'Parellada', 'Xarel-lo'. Spanish sparkling wine is characterized by its fresh acidity, citrus aftertaste and floral aromas.
It is worth mentioning that in 2017 the Spanish wine Corpinnat was launched. This prestigious appellation was established by a group of producers from Catalonia. They aim to highlight and distinguish the high quality and traditional method of making sparkling kava wines. The grapes must be organically grown, hand-picked and produced in a specific geographical area of the Penedès region of Catalonia.
The most unique Spanish wine (produced only in this country) is Sherry. Like Champagne, it can only be made in a specific area of land bordering the Atlantic Ocean in southern Spain. It is the chalky soil (as in Champagne) that gives 'Palomino Fino' its salty, nutty flavour that is not found anywhere else. Sherry come in different styles, from the dry Fino, Manzanilla or Amontillado to the sweet Pedro Ximénez or the nutty Oloroso.
The most popular Spanish grape varieties
Spain is home to many grape varieties, each of which contributes to the diversity of the country's wine range.
One of the most important red varieties is 'Tempranillo', the basis of the famous Rioja and Ribera del Duero wines, renowned for their structure and ageing potential. The other main red variety is 'Garnacha', which thrives in regions such as Priorat. Here the wines are characterized by their rich fruitiness.
Among the white wines, 'Albariño' stands out, particularly in the Rías Baixas region, which is known for its aromatic, freshness and minerality. The 'Verdejo' grape is the main grape of the Rueda region. The Spanish wine produced from it is aromatic, smooth and sometimes with a hint of fennel. The versatile 'Palomino Fino' grape, mainly used for the production of Sherry in Jerez, is also unforgettable and adds to the unique identity of Spanish wine.
