When it comes to the world of wine, Spain is ahead of the curve. Extraordinary vinous expressions are being produced right across this wine-drenched land. Wine and food are indisputably the soul of Spain, and this soul has had a mighty shake up in the last couple of decades as maverick producers, huge investment and new technologies have transformed the existing regions and brought alive areas and varieties previously considered to be long dead.
In the last twenty or thirty years, no wine-producing country has changed as dramatically; Spain is now producing world- friendly, fruit-driven styles that enhance food rather than dominate it, extracting the best from its indigenous varieties in a way that is still inherently Spanish. Having worked out where the local varieties thrive, they are coaxing beautiful, uniquely Spanish wines from the often unforgiving viticultural climate.
