Spanish wine

Spanje is het land met de meeste wijngaarden ter wereld. Er staat pak ‘m beet één miljoen hectare wijnstokken aangeplant. De diversiteit is enorm. Van geweldige sherry’s tot krachtige Rioja’s en alles wat daar tussenin zit.

Spanish wine regions

Rioja →

Spain's flagship wine. Tempranillo takes center stage, often aged in oak. From traditional vanilla bombs to fresh, elegant styles. And don't forget the white Rioja!

Valencia →

An emerging wine region where Monastrell takes center stage. Sunny, full-bodied wines with spicy notes and surprisingly deep flavors. Try the unique Fondillón.

Canary Islands →

Wine from volcanic soils. Think Listán Negro and Listán Blanco, with their smoky, mineral character. Unmistakable and unique, just like the landscape.

La Mancha →

Spain's largest wine region, known for its mass production. But beware: more and more quality wines are being produced from indigenous grape varieties like Airén, Bobal, and Garnacha Tintorera.

Catalonia →

Home to cava, but also serious still wines from Priorat and Montsant. Garnacha and cariñena thrive here on the steep slate slopes, producing intense, complex wines.

Jerez →

Sherry! From crisp fino and elegant manzanilla to deep, nutty amontillado and rich oloroso. And we love it.wine of pasta, the unfortified wines from the region.

Basque Country →

Txakoli: light, fresh, and sometimes sparkling white. Perfect with pintxos and always a bit unique, just like the region itself. Increasingly popular red from Hondarrabi Beltza.

Galicia →

Albariño steals the show in Rías Baixas. Fresh, mineral wines with a delicate saltiness. In Ribeiro and Valdeorras, you'll find godello and treixadura – exciting wines. For mencia, we head to Ribeira Sacra, the sacred shore.

Castilla y Léon →

More than just Ribera del Duero. Think of the crisp Verdejo from Rueda and the amazing Mencía from Bierzo. A region full of contrasts.
