Wine from Spain Common Grape Varieties in Rioja and Beyond
Although robust, seductive, and flavourful wine has been produced in Spain for centuries, it was in the 1800s that wine from Spain really came into its own. During this time period, devastation of vineyards in France drove many of the top producers from that region down into Spain, where they expanded the Spanish winemaking techniques. While French grape varieties do not fare as well in the hot sunny climate of Spain, the native grape varieties are rich in flavour and personality.
Some of the top varieties of grape that are used to produce wine from Spain include Tempranillo, Macabeo, Palomino and Monastrell. There are over 400 different varieties of grapes which grow naturally in this country, yet only 20 of these are used to craft over 80% of the wine output. The most productive wine growing regions in Spain are la Rioja and Ribera del Duero, which both produce a number of high quality bottles for worldwide enjoyment. A high percentage of the wine produced in Spain is enjoyed at home, but with the expansion of home delivery services and export companies, its now possible to enjoy Spanish wine all over the world.
Delivery can be arranged online to allow you to enjoy all that wine from Spain has to offer, in its own right and as an accompaniment to fine cuisine. Giving the gift of Spanish wine can give the recipient a new flavourful experience and introduction to this interesting and unique wine growing culture, and dramatic corner of the world.

Well done, an honest company that delivers their promises. I e-ailed from my ship off the coast of west Africa and my wife got the flowers bang on time.
