 Spain is well known for its red wine tradition. Rioja wines have been responsible for this, and the good thing is there are plenty more D.O. than Rioja today.
Spain enjoys a very rich offer of reds and during the last decades it has been through a real revolution that has produced magnificent products, with more than sixty different appellations or denomination of origins to choose from.
We can find such a wonderful variety of wines that are starting to make their way out of Spain, while many others that are kept as high regarded secrets. As a result of this the trip to explore the Spanish wine production is one that you will highly enjoy, with so many surprises along the way, that at the very end you will understand why we state that Rioja is only the start….and a magnificent start at that.
The redness of a wine is based on how much time the must (unfermented grape juice) stays in contact with the skin of the grapes: take apart the grape from its skin just after the picking and you will get a very light red in terms of colour.
Here you will find the main types we have selected for you with all the information we think you need to know to fully appreciate their characteristics. Know what to expect from each type and plenty more.
