About This Wine

The Asenjo & Manso AM3 is a beautiful Ribera del Duero that comes from the estate’s youngest vineyard fruit, and is turned into the freshest style red that they produce. After a hand harvest of their organic vines, these grapes went through a natural fermentation in stainless steel, and were placed into used French barrique for 3 months (thus the name AM3), making for a true ‘Roble’ style Spanish red. With only a tiny addition of sulfites, the wine was bottled and released to the market as a clean and bright style wine for enjoying while young or aging for a year or two. The result is bright with fresh acidity, yet has a lot of deep dark fruit and wood tones to keep a balance and to live up to the region’s reputation. The tannins are soft and well integrated, and lead to a nice finish that invites the next sip.

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.
