SPAIN
The country divides into three parts: the Northwest,which includes the cool coastal areas of Galicia and the warm inland highlands of Castilia y Leon; the Northeast,which encompasses La Rioja, Aragon, Navarra, and Catalunya;and Central and Southern Spain,which includes Castilla-La Mancha, Valencia, Andalucia, and the Canarias.
GRAPE VARIETIES & WINE STYLES:
The classic Spanish wine is typically red and made from the Tempranillo grape.with a strawberry-raspberry fruit flavor and a little toasty oak.It is famous largely because of the outstanding work that has been done in Rioja. Among the other Spain star regions are Navarra,with its bright,cherry-fresh Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot; the internationally famous Ribera del Duero with its highly-extracted, complex,and rich reds from Tempranillo; and Catalunya, with world-class red wines such as Penedes and Priorat,which are made using Garnacha (Grenache) and Carinena (Carignan) grapes from ancient,low yielding vineyards.
Of the white regions, Rueda (Castilla y Leon)makes some of Spain's best white wines from Verdejo and Sauvignon Blanc
