A Guide to Spanish Wine

Spain has more vineyard land than any other country, and a tradition of ageing its wines in the cellar before release, so they are often ready to drink as soon as you buy them.

Rioja and the ageing terms

Rioja is Spain's most famous red, made mainly from Tempranillo. The label tells you how long it was aged before release:

• Crianza: at least two years, including one in oak. Fresh red fruit with a touch of vanilla.
• Reserva: at least three years, including one in oak. Smoother and more savoury.
• Gran Reserva: at least five years, including two in oak. Silky, with notes of leather, tobacco and dried fruit.

López de Heredia's Viña Tondonia and La Rioja Alta's Gran Reserva 904 are classic, long-aged examples.

Ribera del Duero

Further south, Ribera del Duero makes deeper, more powerful Tempranillo. Aalto is one of its modern stars.

Whites, Cava and Sherry

Albariño from Rías Baixas in Galicia is crisp and saline, ideal with seafood; try Terras Gauda O Rosal. Cava is Spain's traditional-method sparkling wine. Sherry, from Jerez, ranges from bone-dry Oloroso to rare aged Palo Cortado.

Food pairing

Rioja suits roast lamb, chorizo and Manchego. Albariño goes with prawns and grilled fish. Dry Oloroso is excellent with jamón and nuts. Browse more red wine and white wine.
