In the top three producers in the world with Italy and France, the world's largest vineyard in terms of surface area, Spain is one of those old world countries for which vines have always been part of the culture. With a great diversity of styles, in red, white, rosé or sparkling, Spanish wines are today among the most competitive with a remarkable price-quality ratio.
Spanish wines come from different wine-growing regions, stretching from north to south and from east to west, each with its own specificities.
The region of Castilla la Mancha represents the largest wine-growing region in the world in a single block in terms of production area.
To the north, the Rioja region is renowned for the quality of its red wines made from the Tempranillo and Garnache grape varieties.
In the center, in the heart of the province of Castilla y León, the prestigious and robust wines of the Ribera del Duero continue to stand out among the most renowned wines in the world with prestigious estates such as the Bodega Vega Sicilia.
Located in the province of Catalonia, the prestigious Priorat appellation is considered a star on the international scene. A difficult wine-growing region with very low yields, Priorat is renowned for its red wines for aging with a warm bouquet and incomparable texture, mostly from the Garnache.
