Drinks. Wine Map of the World: Spanish wines - the history, brands.

Beautiful and contrast country Spain - a country of strong passions, and people still filled with dignity and temperament, and besides so well located, of course, also could not stay away from wine.

As in France and Italy, the wines are also classified into four categories.

The first is the tradition includes table wine - Vino de Mesa. This wine unclassified vineyards, produced from several varieties of grapes, without specifically demanding requirements for terrain and varieties. As in Italy, table wines are not labeled or year of harvest, nor the name of the area in which it was collected.

The second category - Vino de la tierra, that is - the local wine. This is a wine of higher quality than the previous wine category. For them, already provided an indication on the label of grapes from which wine is made, year and region of origin.

The third category - Denominacion de Origen (DO) - wines from certain wine-growing regions. Production of these wines is regulated by law: special regulatory boards, controlling cultivation of grapes and selling wine. Nearly half of all the vineyards of Spain are classified as Denominacion de Origen.

The highest category of Spanish wines - Denominacion de Origen Calificada (DOC), it is assigned only to the best wine regions and their products.

And the local wine, wine category, DO are classified by period of aging.

There is a young wine, this year's harvest - Joven. It is either not aged in oak barrels, or an excerpt limited 2-3 months. This does not mean that such wines worse than the rest, they just have their own specific use - as well as French Beaujolais.

Wine Crianza - two years of exposure, of which no less than six months - in oak barrels, the rest of the time - already in bottles.

Wine Reserva - three years of exposure, but in an oak cask the wine spends at least a year.

The most seasoned - five-year wine Gran Reserva, conducting a barrel for two years.

What are the Spanish wines we can recommend who want to try "the Mediterranean sun?
Of course, first of all, red, dry:
- Wine Valencia Hoya de Cadenas Reserva DO Tempranillo (from two grape varieties - Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo, aged for a year in barrels, it is characterized by rich cherry color, velvety taste with a shade of fruit and even coffee note);
- Castillo de Anna Reserva (dark ruby, with a deep berry flavor and aroma);
- Don Ramon Crianza Rioja DOC (light wine with a complex bouquet - cherry, chokeberry and herbs);
- And even democratic costs Villaseca del mar (rich cherry-red wine).
All are well suited to cheese and meat.

Of the white wines are interesting Sol de Mediterraneo (pearl-gold wine with the aroma of honey and white flowers) and, of course, Moscatel DO Castillo de Liria (dessert wine from Valencia - the most fragrant, sweet and luxurious among the Spanish wines, I highly recommend). Serve them chilled to a temperature of 10-12 ° C mainly as an aperitif or accompaniment to fruit and desserts.

There are sparkling wines: impressive design, metal-studded bottles Segura Viudas Brut, Dry Sparkling Cordon Negro Brut Freixenet, Cordon Negro Freixenet, and sweet - Carta Nevada Freixenet.

So now we know what the correct "sunshine in a glass." Take the time to choose from and really not too much money (all by me wine, except sparkling, do not exceed the cost of 300 rubles per bottle), to discover the secrets of Spain, and a wonderful evening you careless!
And even if it is night alone - you at least dream of the sound of castanets, or even a bullfight ... Depending on how much you drank.
