The Wines of Spain (Classic Wine Library)

Published by at under Wine Books

Spain’s winemaking tradition is as old as France’s, yet it is evolving in new directions even faster than its Gallic rival. Major producers from well-known wine estates as well as small wine-producing bodegas from dozens of regions—including Catalonia, Aragón, Navarra, the Levant, Andalucia, and the Islands—are introduced here. All the entries receive a full description of their climate, soil, landscape, grapes, plantings, authorized yields, wines, and vintages. Fourteen detailed maps of winemaking regions are accompanied by addresses for touring and websites for ordering. Also helpful are the clarifications of confusions caused by interchangeable use of Spanish and French terms.


Customer Review: A great text on Spanish wine, though not the best

I recommend "The New Spain" over this book, but if you want another view into wine, this is a great addition.

Pros: superbly written, great information
Cons: average maps, not as in depth as others

Customer Review: Great information, too many typos

I am a Certified Sommelier and have been in the wine business for the past seven years. I found this book to be one of the best I have read on the wines and regions of Spain. The information is detailed and Interestingly presented. I did find the amount of typos a bit disturbing, but not enough to stop me from recommending it strongly.
