Coming from well over 50 small parcels of vines scattered in a arc stretching along the Duero river from Soria to Valladolid and passing through the provinces of Bugos and Segovia, Galia is the personal project of Jerome Bougnaud who was moved to rescue these disregarded and ancient vineyards. Threatened with abandonment or replanting due to their age, difficulty in farming and location, with many outside the official boundaries of Ribera del Duero, these sites on gravelly sand and calcareous clay, are primarily head-pruned Tempranillo (including some ungrafted, pre-phylloxera vines!) with a smaller amount of Garnacha and an even tinier portion of Albillo.

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.
