It also has a classification system that runs across the whole country rather than region by region, so once you understand it, it applies whether you're looking at a Rioja, a Ribera del Duero or a Rueda.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat ties it together is a strong tradition of oak ageing and a habit of holding wines back until they're ready to drink, rather than selling them straight off the back of the harvest. That's slowly changing as more producers make fresher, less oaked styles, but the classic approach still shapes how Spanish wine is labelled and sold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow Spanish Wine is Classified\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpain uses a national quality system, and most bottles you'll see fall into one of these:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVino de la Tierra\u003c\/strong\u003e - Regional wine, one step up from table wine.

Spain has more vineyard area than anywhere else, and its classification system (DO, DOCa, and the Joven\/Crianza\/Reserva\/Gran Reserva ageing tiers) gives you a consistent way to read a label, whichever region it's from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere should I start?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Crianza from Rioja or Ribera del Duero is a good entry point - enough oak to show what the style is about without a big price tag. From there, branch out into Rueda or Rías Baixas for whites, or Priorat if you want something bigger and more intense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between Rioja and Ribera del Duero?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth are Tempranillo-led, but Ribera del Duero sits at higher altitude with more extreme temperature swings, which tends to produce bigger, darker, more concentrated wines, often with a little Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot or Malbec in the blend. Rioja is generally softer and more red-fruited, traditionally blended with Garnacha and Graciano.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Cava as good as Champagne?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDifferent grapes, different climate, same production method. Cava won't taste identical to Champagne, but it's made properly and it's usually a lot cheaper - genuinely good value if you like the style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat should I eat with Spanish wine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed Tempranillo and Garnacha love lamb, chorizo and aged manchego. Albariño and Verdejo are naturals with seafood and tapas. Sherry is criminally underused with food generally - try a dry Fino or Manzanilla alongside olives, almonds or cured ham.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does Tempranillo taste like?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCherry, plum and a touch of tobacco or leather. Young versions are bright and juicy; with oak age you get more vanilla, spice and dried fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre older, more expensive wines worth it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you like the aged style - dried fruit, tobacco, savoury complexity - a Reserva or Gran Reserva is worth trying at least once. For everyday drinking, a good Crianza usually gives you better value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStorage tips?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStore bottles on their side, somewhere cool (10-15°C) and dark, away from temperature swings. Once opened, recork and refrigerate, and drink within a few days - Sherry included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between a bodega and a vineyard?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vineyard is where the grapes are grown; the bodega is where the wine is made and aged. Many Spanish producers own both, though some buy in fruit from growers they work with closely.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"calycantoverdejospain2024","title":"Cal Y Canto, Verdejo 2024","description":"\u003ch2\u003eGet to know: Cal Y Canto Verdejo 2024\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA vibrant and refreshing Spanish white wine from the heart of Castilla-La Mancha.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTasting Note\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCal Y Canto Verdejo 2024 is a zesty white wine that captures the crisp, aromatic, character of Verdejo.  Pale straw in colour with lifted aromas of lime, green apple, fresh herbs, and a touch of white peach.

They seek to create balanced wines which reflect the personality of their original vineyard, doing everything possible to allow nature to do its work by handling the grapes as little as possible. Among their goals is a respect for the wine-making traditions while seeking to create contemporary products and innovation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir vineyards are located between the Júcar and Cabriel river valleys at height of 750 m: The warm and dry western winds during the day and the cool and humid eastern winds at night are ideal for the slow ripening of the grape.

Their soils are biological enriched by microorganisms and insects that in turn attract other animals such as partridges, lizards, etc. Many of these insects find shelter beneath the mulch that is generated by the pruned branches and green manure. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vega Tolosa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49560658673982,"sku":"SK-01184","price":13.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0950\/5962\/files\/Pinos11Bobalrose.png?v=1714751099"},{"product_id":"wednesdays-domaine-sanguine-alcohol-free-red-wine","title":"Wednesday's Domaine Sanguine Alcohol Free Red Wine","description":"\u003ch2\u003eGet to know: Wednesday's Domaine Sanguine Alcohol Free Red Wine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTasting Note\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChannelling lighter-bodied red, Wednesday's Domaine Sanguine has noticeable depth and complexity, with hints of plums and blackcurrants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeginning with a beautiful Tempranillo from the historic La Mancha region of Central Spain, Wednesday's Domaine wines are gently de-alcoholised using the latest technology before being blended with a handful of natural ingredients that lift body, flavour, aroma and length in the absence of alcohol.\u2028\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eKate Says\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"This is definitely a cut above the other alcohol-free wines we've tried. They look really attractive I think and they’re good for what they do.
