1. Rioja

Spain’s classiest wines hail from the upper Ebro valley (La Rioja) and have a distinctive, oaky flavour.
2. Rueda

This small, up-and-coming region south of Valladolid produces lively white wines using the Verdejo grape.
3. Rias Baixas

The Albariño grape thrives in cool, wet northwest Spain, known for its fragrant whites – but they don’t come cheap.
4. Navarra

Navarra’s palatable reds and rosés do not lag far behind those of neighbouring La Rioja, and prices are competitive.
5. Penedès

The Catalonian region has never looked back since Miguel Torres introduced Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay grapes in the 1960s.
6. Jerez

The Andalusian plains just north of Cadiz have been synonymous with sherry production since the 18th century.
7. Ribera del Duero

This region is noted for its high-quality red wines, made with the Tempranillo grape.
8. Valdepeñas

Valdepeñas turns out lightly-flavoured reds with a high alcohol content.
9. La Mancha

Spain’s largest wine growing region produces good-value table wines.
10. Cava

A fresh, sparkling wine; the name Cava (cellar) was adopted after the French disallowed use of the word champagne.
