  • Are these details incorrect?
  • 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.
