In
the past several years, Spanish wine has taken the
International market by storm, measuring up to French and Californian
varieties. Spain was at one time almost unknown in
the wine market, but over the past couple of decades, Spanish
wine has made a name for itself. Improved production techniques,
harvest control, care for the fruit’s flavor and aromas as well
as the infrastructure of the wineries have all helped boost Spain
and put it in the forefront of the best wines in the world!
From full-bodied Sherries and muscatels to dry whites and reds, Spanish
wine has become the popular choice at many dinner tables and
restaurants. Even wine novices might have heard of some well-known Spanish
selections like Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Penedés, Rueda, Sherries
(a sweet, thick wine) from Jerez, and cava – a Spanish sparkling
wine that rivals France’s champagne!
