Pintia Toro: Tasting the changes
Evaluating the changes at the estate since 2001...
Spain
Key regions: Rioja | Ribera del Duero | Rías Baixas | Priorat
Two of the most widely grown grapes in Spain are Garnacha and Tempranillo.
There are many other grapes grown here though, from Carignan to Chardonnay.
It’s traditional to age Spanish wines for a long time in oak barrels. Many wines in Spain are defined by their ageing criteria, based on the minimum length of time the wine is aged in both barrel and bottle.
These include Joven, Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva.
