Spain may not be the first wine region to come to mind when you think of expensive, luxury wine. But, there are several expensive, investment-grade wines that’ll fit right into your wine collection!
The Spanish red wines typically boast a bold structure, crisp freshness, a red fruit flavor, and other subtle wine tasting notes that include oak and spice. The finest reds come from sun-drenched regions like Ribera del Duero, Rioja, Levante, and Priorat. The grapes from these regions are harvested late and macerated longer, and the wines are aged in new French oak.
Spanish white wines from Rioja and Catalonia usually offer crisp minerality, a fruity complexity, medium acidity, and a citrus fruit flavor. However, the most delicate Spanish whites come from Galicia. The region is cool, boasts fertile decomposed schist soils, and has maritime influence from the Atlantic Ocean. The wines from this region boast earthy notes that express terroir.
