Spanish wine, so much more than Tempranillo and Verdejo

Spanish wine has been getting better and better in recent years. For adventurous wine drinkers, buying Spanish wine is a matter of searching. Most wines are made from just a handful of grapes. However, there are still forgotten grapes to be found in often less obvious regions. In our range, we have chosen a mix of unknown, striking Spanish wines and a few Spanish classics of above-average quality.

Remarkable Spanish wines currently come mainly from Galicia and Castilla y León, Catalonia and Aragon. The winemakers there dare to experiment and make intriguing quality wines from local grapes such as Tempranillo, Verdejo, Treixadura, Viura, Mencía and Albariño.

Even in Spanish wine regions that we previously preferred to ignore, such as the immense La Mancha, there is now enthusiastic experimentation. For example, by Pago del Vicario, which makes deep red rosé from Petit Verdot and a white wine from the blue Tempranillo. And then they also stick those beautifully designed labels on the bottle, because the eye wants something too.
