Best Spanish Wines

The best Spanish wines

Spain's wine offer is almost limitless. Keeping in mind that Spain has been producing wine since the time of the Romans, it's normal there's so much to choose from. However, not all of the Spanish wines can be classified as "best Spanish wines", so we've attempted to make a list out of some of the best wines from the most important and representative DO's in each autonomous community, so you can get an idea of what to buy when you're visiting Spain. Spending some time in Madrid? Why not try an Initio 2005 from the cellar Las Moradas de San Martin? Or if you're visiting Valencia, you shouldn't pass up a tasting of Icono Monastrell 2006, from Anecoop la Viña. Tenerife also has quite an array of excellent wines, like Tierra de Frontos Tinto Clásico 2008 from Bodega Frontos. Whichever part of Spain you're at, you will surely find a wine suitable for your needs.
