Spain and Portugal
With a blend of tradition and innovation, Spain produces red, rose, and white wines of varying quality. It is best known for sherry, Rioja (oaky reds and whites), and sparkling known as Cava. Tempranillo and Garnacha (Grenache) are its most important grape varieties.
Aside from Port, Portugal makes red, white and rose wine. Since it joined the European Union, the quality of wine making has improved a great deal.
Wines Of Spain: Many wines are a blend of grapes. Red Rioja is typically a mix of Tempranillo and Garnacha, and white is mostly Viura (also known as Macabeo). Wines from Rioja’s three main districts are Alavesa, Alta, and Baja, are often blended. American oak barrels are used in Rioja to age both reds and whites .Cava is sparkling wine using the Champagne method, and can be of excellent quality.
Portuguese Wines: Portugal uses grape varieties little known elsewhere. Vinho Verde is a light white wine best drunk young. Dao’s once coarse and tannic reds are now fruitier with spicy flavors. Minho is an important region which makes Vinho Verde.
