Spain has the largest area under vine of any country and a deep tradition of oak-aged reds. Tempranillo-based wines from Rioja and Ribera del Duero, alongside Priorat's Garnacha and Carinena, anchor its fine-wine reputation.

Produces powerful, deeply colored Tempranillo from Spain's high plateau, prized for concentration and structure.
