Spain

**Spain** has more land under vine than any other country and a winemaking tradition stretching back thousands of years, offering exceptional value alongside a growing tier of world-class wines. Its dry, sunny climate and wealth of native grapes give it a character all its own. **Signature wines** — Tempranillo-based reds from Rioja and Ribera del Duero, powerful Garnacha (Grenache), the sparkling Cava, the fortified wines of Jerez (Sherry), and crisp Albariño whites from the Atlantic northwest. **Key regions** — Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Priorat, Rías Baixas, Jerez, Rueda, and Penedès. **Good to know** — Spain's quality system runs from the broad DO category up to the prestigious DOCa/DOQ tier, held only by Rioja and Priorat. Many Spanish reds are also classified by ageing, with terms like Crianza, Reserva, and Gran Reserva on the label indicating how long a wine spent maturing in barrel and bottle before release.
