Spain Wines

Great wines tell a story of not just the soil they come from, but the people whose hands did all the work. Spain is an incredibly rich and important country when it comes to wine, with plenty of stories to tell. Whether you’re a fan of the wonderful Tempranillo varietal and its myriad expressions among Spanish vintners, or you prefer a touch of classy white Albariño, Spain offers something for everyone. It’s a joy to immerse yourself in the culture and explore all the diverse styles and blends.

Picture a virtuosic guitar performance in the street. Listen to the urban noise that accompanies such a performance, and then focus on the strings. Imagine watching them pulsate with what seems like boundless energy, as the performer seems to effortlessly create entire melodic pieces on the fly. That awe you feel is captured in every great Spanish wine, and it resonates within each glass and every sip. That fiery passion is the same passion that burns in the hearts of Spanish winemakers as they devote their life to viticultural excellence. The spirit of the people lives on in the wine, and its presence is felt in every layer of texture, every aromatic. It’s all there, waiting for someone who can deconstruct and appreciate it.

If this sounds appealing to you, then you should treat yourself to at least one of Spain’s finest wines, and lose yourself in its complexities and pleasures. You will almost certainly walk away from that experience as a changed person, and your passion for wine will be set ablaze like never before.

2017 R. Lopez Heredia Crianza Blanco Vina Gravonia

Something of a bargain among the López de Heredia whites, which have increased in price because of a combination of demand and high quality, this is a triumph over the heat and frost of 2017. Made from a parcel of 92-year-old Viura, it has flavours of salt, almond paste, citrus peel and beeswax, impressive extract and an enticingly bitter finish.Tim Atkin | 95 TAThe nose of the 2017 Viña Gravonia Blanco is unmistakably López de Heredia, with those mushroom, white pepper and pollen aromas that remind you so much of the smell in their ancient caves. 2017 was the year of the big frost in April and the scarcity of rain that made it the earliest, scarcest and quickest harvest they have experienced in their recent history. The grapes for this wine were the first grapes picked, the 14th of September, from vines aged 93 years. It fermented in even older oak vats with indigenous yeasts ("We have never added yeasts to our wines," they answer when asked) and matured in used American oak barrels for four years (possibly more looking at the bottling date). Of course, this could qualify as a Gran Reserva, but they keep it at Crianza (to have a range), and it’s sold at a bargain price for its quality and age. It’s characterful and nuanced, with some hints of development (diesel) and a lightish palate with pungent flavors and great harmony. It has the usual parameters: 12.5% alcohol, a pH of three and seven grams of acidity. 20,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2023.Robert Parker Wine Advocate | 94+ RPAn elegant, scented nose, showing macadamia nuts, light yellow apples and a touch of seaweed. Elegant and fluid on the palate with bright acidity and a long, lightly saline finish. 100% viura. Drink or hold.James Suckling | 93 JSThe 2017 Viña Gravonia is 100% Viura from Haro in Rioja. This aged for four years in old American oak foudres followed by four years in bottle. Due to the severe frost of 2017, it was made mostly from second-flowering fruit. Medium yellow in hue, it delivers notes of resin, gentle oak and hints of herbs and fennel. Saline and medium-bodied on the tongue before a finish of hay and dried orange peel, this is a unique white with a savory, lightly oxidative profile.Vinous Media | 92 VM
