Fragrant aromas of dark fruits. Mild tannens. Rich and intense finish. Wife usually reacts to sulfites, no problem with this wine. (2870 views) | | | Tasted by Partenaire on 12/30/2009 & rated 82 points: Nez de prune, de cerise, de sciure de bois, de cacao et d'autres notes boisées. Souple, aux saveurs affirmées. Bon le premier verre, mais devient écoeurant à la longue (la sciure de bois devient intempestive). (3127 views) | | | Tasted by carlturcotte on 12/29/2009 & rated 87 points: Very good for the price. Ready to drink. (3341 views) | | | Tasted by czar33 on 9/19/2008 & rated 84 points: Non carafé et autour de 14 degrés. Débute sur un nez moyen et une attaque bien sentie. Ça augure bien: fruit et cacao. La finale est bien, assez ronde. Au fur et à mesure que la dégustation se prolonge et que la température augmente, le vin se disjointe et devient confus, il prend un caractère rustique un peu décevant. Somme toute correct mais sans plus. (3132 views) |

Spain is the third largest wine producing nation in the world, occupying the majority of the Iberian Peninsula with vast diversity in climate, culture, and of course, wine. From inky, dark reds of the [Priorat] to dry, white Finos from Andalusia, Spain can easily boast of elaborating a wide variety of notable styles. Within Spain there are currently 62 demarcated wine regions, of which a handful have gained international recognition: [Rioja], Priorat and [Ribera del Duero]. Yet these regions are only a small sample of the high quality wines Spain produces. Regions such as Cava, Penedes, Somontano, Galicia, Rueda and Jerez are only a few of the numerous regions worthy of exploration throughout Spain. Spain can also lay claim to having the most land under vine in the world, growing up to, by some accounts, 600 indigenous varietals of which Tempranillo is their most well known. Other popular varietals include [Garnacha], Bobal and Monastrell for reds and for whites; the infamous [sic] Palomino Fino grape which is used in the production of sherry wine, Pedro Ximenez in Montilla Morilles, Albarino used in the creation of the bright, effervescent wines of Galicia, and Verdejo in Rueda. - Source: - Catavino.net
Spain is not in the forefront of winemaking for its dessert wines, other than for its sweet wines from Sherry country including the highly revered Olorosos (when sweetened). But apart from Sherry Spain has a range of styles of dessert wines, ranging from the those made from the Pedro Ximenez grape primarily in Jerez and Montilla-Moriles) to luscious, red dessert wines made in the Mediterranean from the Garnacha (Grenache) grape. Some good Moscatels are made in Mallorca, Alicante and Navarre. The northwest corner of Spain, Galicia, with its bitter Atlantic climate, is even making dessert wines, called “Tostadillos” in the village of Ribadivia (similar to France’s “Vin de Paille”). The Canary Islands have made interesting dessert wines for centuries (they are mentioned by Shakespeare, for example) and in recent years the quality of winemaking has been improved and the Canary Islands wines are being better marketed now. The winemaking styles for “Vinos Dulces” are also diverse, from “Late Harvest” (Vendimia Tardía) to “Fortified Wines” (Fermentación Parcial). Based on in-spain.info.Aragón Aragon (wikipedia) |
