Olé! Spain's new wine wave

Few other wine producing countries have seen such dynamic evolution as Spain. Now that its island wines have hogged the limelight for a number of years, new hotspots of innovation have also emerged on the mainland. In fact, across the entire country wine growers and makers are reviving almost forgotten grape varieties and ancient traditions. Expressing site and grape is far more important to them than the technical possibilities of the cellar and their watchwords are elegance and individuality. They are putting lesser known and newer wine regions on the map, showing them to be a veritable El Dorado of discovery.
