"20% Grenache from Rioja Baja. Six soutirages. Chocolate, malt, fig, and rum: clearly tertiary aromatics. Direct and homogeneous, with tension building up on the palate. Fine-grained tannins, ripe but not soft, and showing nervy acids and a mineral substructure. Very intense but in a delicate, juicy, grounded style. Pure elegance."

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.
A warm-climate red giving generous, high-alcohol wines of red fruit and spice. It anchors southern Rhone blends and old-vine wines in Spain and Australia.
Spain's noble red grape, producing structured, savory wines of red fruit and leather that respond beautifully to oak aging in Rioja and Ribera del Duero.
