A strong advocate of biodynamic viticulture, winemaker Marc Isart has a passion for place and for producing wines of great transparency, something this lively, smashable red delivers in spades. Now labelled Tinto de Valdilecha (the wine was previously called Tinto para beber [a red to drink!]) this is a fragrant, juicy blend of 80% mature-vine Tempranillo (from Valdilecha at 780 metres) with the balance being made up with the local white grape Malvar (from Belmonte at similar altitude). Both varieties are co-fermented with natural yeast for 20-25 days without stems and aged in cement and some used 300-litre French oak barrels. La Maldición translates as "the curse" and is named after the daily grind this region's historical workers faced getting to - and eking a living off - the isolated, high-altitude, rocky vineyards east of Madrid. There is nothing jinxed about the wine however, which offers bags of pure, floral-tinged, red-jubey fruit, lined with wispy tannins and refreshing acidity. Think of a delicious, high grown Beaujolais with perhaps the pulp of an early drinking Rhône (from the higher altitude vineyards of the Ardèche) and you'll be getting close.

Wines of Spain
With 2.9 million acres of land planted in wine grapes, Spain is the most widely planted wine producing nation and second largest producer in the world. Many styles of wine are produced in the country most of which are based on native grape varietals.
The two most famous regions are Rioja and Ribera del Duero for their Tempranillo production. Rioja Tempranillo (the classic) will be lighter and fresher with red fruit flavours as compared to those from Ribera del Duero that are often deep purple, higher in alcohol with more tannins and intense black fruit character. Rioja is also known for producing Garnacha (Grenache), as well as rich, nutty whites from the indigenous Viura varietal.
In the Catalonia region, Spain is recognized for making a sparkling wine in the traditional method but using native grape varieties. This is called Cava. Priorat, a subregion within Catalonia specializes in making still red blends of Garnacha, Carignan and often Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon in a bold and full-bodied style. Together with Rioja, wines from Priorat have achieved DOCa/DOQ status signifying their quality.
Sherry is Spain’s famous fortified wine which can either be completely dry, lusciously sweet or somewhere in between. This is made in the southern region of Jerez.
Other notable Spanish wine styles include: Monastrell (AKA. Mataro/Mourvèdre), produced in the Jumilla region and refreshing white Albariño and Verdejo from north western Galacia.
