An Introduction to Spanish Wine
Spanish wine provides wine drinkers accustomed to New World wines the opportunity to explore Old World wines. You’ll find that many of the wines are blends of more than one type of grape.
As you browse available Spanish wines, look for the following terms: Joven, Crianza, Reserva, and Gran Reservas. These terms indicate the time the wine has spent aging, from the least to the greatest amount of time.
Spanish geography affects the taste of the grapes and the wines of Spain. The peninsula of Spain experiences several distinct weather patterns, and they all affect the growth of grapes used for making Spanish wines.
White Wines
Fans of the bubbly should try Cava. This sparkling wine undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle to create bubbles, just like Champagne. Cava wines are usually dry and rich with crisp flavors, and they can be either white wines or rosé. We suggest Pares Balta, Cava, Brut Nature from Jacques Scott Wines & Spirits.
Albarino is on the western coast of Spain, north of Portugal. Wine of this area has a light body with a salty flavor and hints of stone fruit and white flowers. We suggest enjoying a glass of Vionta Albarino with seafood.
Marques De Riscal Verdejo Rueda is another excellent white wine from Spain. Best served with light fare like chicken, fish, or salad, this wine has fresh, crisp, and soft qualities.
Red Wines
Rioja wines come from the Rioja region of north-central Spain and are a balance of New World and Old World wines. They’re often blends of various grapes as well. Rioja wines are typically aged longer than required by Spanish laws.
Priorat wines are robust with potent flavors. We suggest trying Morlanda Priorat if you like a full body with complex fruity flavors.
We also suggest trying Torres Coronas, a Tempranillo wine with oaky flavors of wild berries and clove.
Sherry
The right sherry paired with a meal can elevate the flavors to new heights. The distinct flavors from sherry stem from the process used in its creation. Try Lustau Pedro Ximenez San Emilio Sherry. The grapes are aged into near raisin status before fermentation begins. This process is then paused early to retain sugars, and the sherry is aged for 12 years in contact with the open air. The results provide a smooth, sweet, long-lasting flavor.
