There are so many grape varieties in Spain that make the wine production also rich and diverse. There are more than 600 variations all around the country although the major part nationwide leaves only 20 units of which we highlight the following: Tempranillo, Albariño, Garnacha, Macabeo, Palomino, Airén, Parellada, Cariñena… among others.
Great choice of wines
Spain produces a great amount and diversity of wines due to grape variety but also thanks to different grounds and climates. These wines make a distinction because of their grape composition and the way they were created.
In this way the wines are classified according to their production system and we can separate them between still and special wines.
Among the still wines we can find white, rosé and red.
Among the special wines and liquors we can find fortified, sparkling, mistelle and sherry.
