We fell in love with Spanish wine by
wandering the Galician coast, exploring
ancient Andalusian bodegas, and
picking Spanish thyme in Garnacha
fields in Priorat. While we strongly
suggest you go on these adventures
also, simply drinking these wines
may render expensive international
travel unnecessary. The story of
Spain is all here—from lively, exciting,
and new to historic, complex, and,
brooding, these wines encompass the
soulful Spanish exuberance for simply
enjoying good food, good drink, and
good company.

Often designated a “wedding wine,” Cava commonly doesn’t receive half
of the respect it deserves. The majority of Spanish bubbly hails from
Catalunya, and specifically Penedes, with lesser-known grapes like
Macabeu, Xarel-lo, and Parellada. Think great Cava can’t hold a candle
to Champagne? We’re out to prove they do.

Jerez
Sherry
‘The white grape from the white ground.’
What Jancis Robinson calls the ‘champagne of Spain,’ sherry (an
Anglicization of ‘Xerez’) hails from the flamenco-ridden Southern
region of Andalucía. Arguably Spain’s most important and distinctive
wine, its long history is marked by Phoenician, Roman, Moorish
and British influences, to name a few. Largely misunderstood and
underappreciated as one of the most fascinating and mouth-watering
libations by those outside Spain, sherry has recently enjoyed a renewal
of international interest.
Not sure what sherry is or how to enjoy it? You’re certainly not alone;
but in Adalucia, its hard to imagine eating a single olive, a slice of
jamón, or a gamba al ajillo without a sherry to match and elevate it.

Galicia ‘Green Spain’
With Portugal to the south and over 1,000 miles of coastline, the
landscape of Galicia is marked by winding, shallow fjords, rolling hills,
and lush forests. Due to the region’s relative poverty and isolation from
the rest of Spain, its exceptional wines only began gaining international
recognition in the 1990s. Since then, the popularity of Galician wines
has skyrocketed, and rightfully so. The mainly cool, damp climate
and stony soils produce both stunning, lively whites and aromatic,
graceful tintos. Albariño, the most popular white wine from Rias Baixas
in Galicia has been sited as the ‘best seafood wine in the world.’ We
don’t disagree.

Galicia The wild west
Mencia is the most important red grape in Galicia, and varies in
style drastically. Pure, blended, oaked, un-oaked, carbonically
macerated—you name it, and it’s likely someone is making Mencia this
way. Traditionally light and pale, more serious winemakers are now
producing richer, more complex wines from grapes grown on Galicia’s
stunning terraced hillsides.

Castille y León ‘Tinto del Pais’
Hardly known internationally in the 1980s, Ribera del Duero is often
cited as Spain’s leading red wine producing region next to Rioja. Even
later to emerge was the region of Toro, with only 8 bodegas in 1998.
Known as Tinto del Toro in Toro and Tinto del Pais in Ribera del Duero,
one thing is for sure: Tempranillo is king here, and all wines listed
below are 100% Spain’s noble grape (named for Spanish “temprano”
as it ripens several weeks earlier than other Spanish varietals) unless
otherwise noted.
Though Spain’s coldest growing region, Bierzo, is technically located in
the Northwestern corner of Castille y León, it is much closer to Galicia,
and therefore grows Galician varietals like Godello and Mencia.
