|
Navarra
D.O.
The quality of wines from Navarra has long been overlooked
while neighbouring regions have attaracted al the attention. Navarra
is one of the oldest wine producing regions in Spain and their wines,
particularly the reds, "clarets" or rosés are well
worth sampling. |
Penedés D.O.
The still white wines, where the Macabeo grape prefominates,
and the sparkling wines from the Penedés made from the famous
trilogy of grapes, Parellada, Macabeo and xarello, have long since
won the respect of both national and international markets. |
|
Cava D.O.
Sparkling wine has been produced in Spain for generations,
particularly in Catalunia, using the traditional "méthode
champenoise". However, this description was forbidden by international
law giving way in 1986 to Spain´s own official Denomination
of Origin: Cava.
|
Valdepeñas D.O.
Bodegas J.A. Megía e Hijos is one of the oldest
bodegas in Valdepeñas situated right in the heart of the town.
Realising the need to improve Valdepeñas, this bodega hae put
their winemaking skills together to present their Corcovo range which
Cervinco represents on the Costa del Sol. |
Rueda D.O.
The white wines from Rueda have been highly regarded
for generations in the area, but it is only in reent years that their
quality and character have become widely appreciated. |
|
Rías Baixas D.O.
Bodegas Pablo Padin is situated right in the heart
of the Rías Baixas Denomination of Origin area, which is
considered by some wine experts to be the best wine producing region
of Galicia.
|
Rioja D.O.
No Spanish wine-merchant could regard their portfolio
as complete without a selection of wines from La Rioja, still Spain´s
most emblematic wine producing region, and Cervinco is no exception.
|
Ribera del Duero D.O.
The wine producing region which has attracted most
attention and admiration in recent years, both nationally and internationally,
is without doubt Ribera del Duero. It was once know for the truly
great wines from just one Bodega, regarded by many experts as the
best in Spain, yet nowadays, all the wines from this area, although
expensive are being enjoyed and appreciated by many. |
|
Somontano D.O.
Somontano is one of the most interesting up and coming
wine producing regions in Spain at the present time, and Bodegas
Viñas el Vero are forging a name for themselves both in the
national and international wine markets.
|
Jumilla D.O.
The winds of change are certainly blowing through the
Spanish vineyards. Areas which have been previously overlooked, or
have had the reputation for only producing hard and harsh wines of
doubtful quality are suddenly attracting much more attention. |
Extremadura
Extremadura is another wine producing region of Spain
which has remained relatively unnoticed until very recently. The Denomination
of Origin "Tierra de barros" literally meaning "mud-lands"
was never successful and many wine-makers as yet, have not alieged
themselves to the regulations imposed by the newer Denomination Ribera
del Guadiano founded in 1998. |
