James Suckling – A fragrant nose of plums, cherries, cloves and tea leaves. It’s full-bodied with fine tannins and fresh acidity. Chalky and stony character with a spicy, peppery finish. Drink or hold.

Robert Parker/Wine Advocate – Following the new classification of wines, the 2019 Villa de Corullón is a Vino de Villa (village), produced with grapes from 6.71 hectares divided into 200 small plots they own on slate-rich soils at 500 to 950 meters in altitude. It's 91% Mencía, 1% Alicante Bouschet and 8% white grapes from old vines (50 to 90 years old) that are organically and biodynamically farmed, and the wine will be certified in the coming years. The partly destemmed grapes fermented in oak vats with indigenous yeasts for 43 days and matured in barriques and foudres for 10 months. It has a "moderate" 13.5% alcohol, the lower part of the range, as they aim at 13.5% to 14% alcohol in the finished wines. This is a great blending exercise, as the wines are blended mostly before putting it in barrel. It's a subtle and elegant Corullón, with great balance and freshness; Ricardo talked about some tannins that are very fine. It's a fluid vintage for this bottling, a little herbal, versatile and complex. It seems to have more character than the Moncerbal than it has had in other years. This can be one of the lightest and most elegant vintages of Corullón, with a different texture from the rest of the 2019s. - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Spanish wines captivate with their vast range and distinctive character. The country's varied topography and climate have fostered unique regional wine cultures, each boasting its own traditions and grape varieties. While many are familiar with the robust reds of Rioja and the crisp whites of Rias Baixas, Spain's viticultural wealth extends much further. The lush vineyards of Ribera del Duero produce deep, intense wines, whereas the coastal breezes of Jerez give life to the world-famous Sherry. Furthermore, regions like Bierzo and Navarra are gaining acclaim for their innovative approaches to winemaking. Every glass offers a journey through Spain's rich history, from ancient Roman vineyards to modern sustainable practices. As one navigates through the diverse offerings, the passion and craftsmanship of Spanish winemakers become evident. Celebrate the artistry and indulge in the myriad flavors that define the Spanish wine landscape.
Spanish wines are a perfect embodiment of the country's rich tapestry of culture, history, and geography. One of the most distinctive aspects of wines from Spain is the sheer diversity of its wine regions, each boasting unique climates, soil types, and grape varietals. From the coastal breezes of Rías Baixas to the sun-soaked terrain of Priorat, the range of microclimates ensures a myriad of wine profiles. Spanish wine production marries age-old traditions with cutting-edge innovations, producing bottles that resonate with both history and modernity. Not to mention, Spain is home to some of the oldest vineyards in the world, leading to deeply rooted vines that yield wines with exceptional depth and character. The utilization of indigenous grapes, such as Tempranillo, Garnacha, and Albariño, ensures that every sip speaks authentically of its Spanish origin.
Spain boasts an array of celebrated wines, each with its own story and flavor profile. Among the most iconic is Rioja, known for its robust, oak-aged reds primarily made from the Tempranillo grape. Close behind is Ribera del Duero, another region that has earned accolades for its intense and age-worthy reds. For white wine enthusiasts, Albariño from Rías Baixas offers crisp, aromatic flavors that dance on the palate, while Cava, Spain's answer to Champagne, sparkles with its effervescence and elegance. Last but not least, Sherry from Jerez is a fortified wine that ranges from dry to sweet, offering a unique taste experience unlike any other.
For those eager to embark on a Spanish wine journey, there are a few must-try bottles. Begin with a red Rioja Reserva, which offers a balanced palate of fruit and oak, showcasing Spain's affinity for aging wines. Transition to a white with an Albariño from Rías Baixas, celebrated for its zesty citrus notes and saline finish. For something sparkling, a Cava Brut is a delightful introduction to Spain's bubbly offerings. And for a taste of Spain's fortified heritage, a dry Manzanilla or rich Pedro Ximénez Sherry will surely captivate.
The best Spanish wines stand as testaments to the expertise and passion of Spanish winemakers. Renowned labels like Vega Sicilia from Ribera del Duero and Marqués de Riscal from Rioja have achieved legendary status among wine aficionados. In Priorat, the llicorella soil yields reds with remarkable minerality and depth. White wine lovers often herald the Albariños of Pazo de Señorans and Do Ferreiro. For sparkling enthusiasts, the Cavas of Recaredo and Gramona rise to the top with their complexity and finesse. Lastly, in the realm of fortified wines, the Sherries of Bodegas Lustau and González Byass represent the pinnacle of quality and craftsmanship.
