Spain<br />

Spain offers a<br />

diverse range<br />

of styles and<br />

flavours, from<br />

rich, fullbodied<br />

reds to<br />

crisp, refreshing<br />

whites<br />

Spain is home to 13% of the world’s<br />

total vineyards making it the<br />

world’s largest producer by area,<br />

but only third by volume.<br />

More than 60% of all Cava produced<br />

in Spain is exported.<br />

Rioja wine has four categories,<br />

based on age: Genérico, Crianza,<br />

Reserva, and Gran Reserva.<br />

Spanish wines are known for their complexity, depth,<br />

and character. They offer a diverse range of styles and<br />

flavours, from the rich, full-bodied reds of Rioja and<br />

Ribera del Duero to the crisp, refreshing whites of Rueda<br />

and Galicia. The country’s fortified wines, such as Sherry,<br />

are also world-renowned for their complex flavours and<br />

long aging potential.<br />

Like many other countries, the heat was extreme in<br />

vintage 2022 and a new heat record was set in Spain.<br />

This meant that harvest in some places started as early<br />

as late July. It is expected that vineyards with coastal<br />

influence or higher altitudes will perform better as they<br />

often are cooler than other vineyards.<br />

When phylloxera hit in the 1860’s many winemakers<br />

from Bordeaux took the first train and ended up in a<br />

small town called Haro, which is now considered to be<br />

the ‘wine capital’ of Rioja. When French winemakers<br />

arrived they introduced new techniques and changed<br />

winemaking in Rioja. Previously the wines of Rioja made<br />

bulk wines but the French are to thank for the amazing<br />

wines coming from this region. If you take a bottle<br />

of Bordeaux and a bottle of Rioja many of the same<br />

characteristics will show, often making it difficult to<br />

differentiate the wines in blind tastings.
