The Iberian Peninsula is amongst the regions with most winegrape diversity globally and thus, it is necessary to understand how this diversity has responded to past climatic changes and how will it respond to future changes. For this reason, IBERIAN FUTURE WINES will study 16 winegrape varieties (8 reds and 8 whites) most representative of Iberian . ASSESSING THE FUTURE OF OUR WINES
