When we think of great wines from Spain we tend to focus on the intense dark fruits to be found in Ribera del Duero or the more elegant long lived cedar and tobacco-tinged plum fruits of Rioja. 

Then there is the silky perfection of Priorat at its best, the meaty black fruits of Monastrell from the South East and the many modern styles such as the juicy natural reds of Penedès and elsewhere.
