In terms of Spanish regions associated with fine wine, the heart would have to be located in North-central Spain. It is here the historically significant region of Rioja has continuously produced high quality wines for centuries (in the 1800’s, Rioja benefited from a close friendship with Bordeaux, France, which allowed them technological advantages other Spanish regions didn’t have). Our portfolio of Rioja producers is vast for a reason: each producer bring something different to our portfolio while all maintain legendary quality.
The procession of quality doesn’t stop with Rioja. Nearby Navarra is home to many of the most modern and cutting edge producers. Calatayud and Campo de Borja are home to some of the greatest Grenache vineyards in the world outside of the Southern Rhone of France; old and gnarly vines dotted across a Mars landscape.
Traveling to the far northeastern corner, the legendary region of Priorat and the surrounding area of Montsant (both within Catalonia) bring some of the most sought after wines of Spain. Additionally, amazing Cavas come from theses lands surrounding Barcelona.
