Spain

Spain has a long history in producing wines, dating from Roman times when Iberia was an important supplier for Rome itself. With its entry into the European Union, in 1986, major changes started with regard to production, and modernization was done quickly, both at the level of vineyards and in cellars, and also in the legislation.

Ribera del Duero

Ribera del Duero

Rueda

The Rueda Denomination of Origin, assigned in 1980, was the first in Castile and Léon. It encompasses ancient wineries where the star is the Verdejo grape which has brought it fame and prestige. The municipality with the most Rueda Denomination of Origin vineyards is La Seca, with 24% of the hectares.

Penedès

Penedès

Penedès is a wine-producing region with the Spanish Denominación de Origen Protegida (DOP) (Denominació d'Origen Protegida in Catalan). Penedès PDO includes the entire Penedès region and the municipalities of four other comarques: Anoia, Alt Camp, Baix Llobregat and Tarragonès. The area is framed by the coastal hills of the Serra del Garraf and the higher inland mountains that surround the Central Catalan Depression. Long considered one of Spain's best wine-producing regions after Rioja, it is also one of the oldest wine-growing areas in Europe. However, the region is better known for the production of Cava, a sparkling wine that has had its own Denominació d'Origen since 1986.

Rías Baixas

Rías Baixas

Rías Baixas is a region located on the southwest coast of Galicia, Spain. The region includes four estuaries: Ría de Muros e Noia, Ría de Arousa, Ría de Pontevedra and Ría de Vigo. Due to the proximity to the ocean, the climate of the area is mild and humid. Thus the area is known for its green landscape with abundant pine and eucalyptus forests. Neither pine nor eucalyptus are indigenous trees, but they were brought here and have adapted perfectly. 


Winemaking is an important industry for Rías Baixas and the surrounding lands. There are approximately 20,000 different vineyards in the area. A particular type of white wine, Albariño, is originated in the Rías Baixas and now accounts for 90% of the wine produced there. This wine is particularly successful in this area because the structures that are the main ingredient are able to withstand and even thrive in the humid, coastal climate.
