  • Wines of Spain Introduction Spanish Wine Classification Spanish Wine
    Wines of Spain Introduction Spain is the third largest wine producer in the world and has the largest land area dedicated to vineyards than any other country. Earlier, it was known for ‘sherry’ and red wines from Rioja, outside Spain. However, today, almost all its wines are well – recognized because of dedicated and continuous efforts on improving the quality. Some new wine makers are employing modern technology and introduce classic grape varieties along with native grapes, to wide range of wines. Spain has a diverse climate which gives a variety of wine styles – full – bodied wines, light wines, and sparkling wines. Sparkling wines are made in Spain using methode champenoise named Cava. Spanish Wine Classification Spanish wine classification is based on French appellation system, which not only identifies the specific area of production and the grapes used but also the minimum ageing period which is applied to all Spanish wines. Spanish Wine Areas Rioja This region makes the best known Spanish table wines, including red and white of different styles and rose. The key feature of Rioja is that it is aged for a longer period in 225 litre barricas (barrels); for instance, reds are aged as long as 15-20 years obtaining an oak flavour from the wood. The reds are mainly from tempranillo. The whites of Rioja are made chiefly viura. The three Rioja red wine classifications, as found on the front or back of Spanish wine bottle labels are as follows – • Crianza – This is fresh, fruit – flavored, youthful, red wine that is aged in oak for a minimum of one year and then kept another year for ageing in the bottle.

  • Tio Toto Sherry Range
    TIO TOTO SHERRY RANGE by TIO TOTO SHERRY The origin of José Estevez winery goes back to Jose Lena Rendon and Co., who established in 1809 as a Sherry and Brandy producer. In 1894, Mr. Ruiz, main shareholder of the business, changed the name of the company to his own: Felix Ruiz and Ruiz, S.A. At this time the winery was shipping their wines as far as Northern Europe and South America. Since 1974 the Estevez family have managed the company and in 1984 the name was changed to Jose Estevez S.A. As a traditional family business, it was key to give priority to a thorough selection and a careful ageing of their Sherries and Brandies. In 1982, Jose Estevez de los Reyes bought a stake of shares in the Marques del Real Tesoro bodega, taking over the whole company in 1985 and injecting financial and professional support. By 1989 the Estevez family held a 95% share of the company. The same year, 1989, the Estevez family drew up a plan to merge the two companies, JOSE ESTEVEZ, S.A. and MARQUES DEL REAL TESORO, S.A., investing in brand new premises and creating their headquarters today. These buildings include the new offices, laboratories, vinification plant, ageing cellars, bottling plant and warehouses. The new facilities, equipped with top technology are one of the most modern in Spain. In addition to this, the gradual acquisition of 800 Has. of vineyards in the best plots of the Sherry D.O., has transformed the Group of companies José Estévez, S.A.

  • Sweet Secret
    Sweet Secret The wines from the Montilla region of Andalucia have not yet gained the same reputation as their famous neighbours from Jerez, but these elegant aperitif and dessert wines deserve a wider audience, says Arpi Shively Under a deep blue springtime sky, the sunlit hills of Cordoba province present a gentle, surprisingly fertile landscape of almond and olive plantations, and closer to Montilla- Moriles, a tapestry of vines reaching to the horizon. These gentle scenes belie the region’s history of fierce battles, and equally fierce variations of climate; in one of the hottest parts of Spain, summer days can clock up 45C, falling to –5C in winter. And at 600mm a year, rainfall is just a blip in an average 2,500 hours of sunshine. The Montilla-Moriles wine region, a few miles south of Cordoba, actually covers about 14 small towns, including Baena, famous for its superb olive oil. But the finest wines come from the two towns that give the region its name. Montilla’s climate may not sound like heaven to us, but the sweet, fragrant and fruity Pedro Ximenez grapes thrive here in the chalky, sandy soil. The relentless heat of summer ensures a naturally high sugar/alcohol content of 15-16 percent, so that many of the Montilla wines, unlike their sherry counterparts, don’t need to be fortified with added alcohol. Among other things, locals insist you won’t get a hangover with Montilla wine. Its purity is just one of the differences that aficionados say sets their favourite tipple apart. Fiercely loyal Cordobes and Montilla-Moriles locals explain the greater popularity of sherry by pointing out that it is produced in Jerez, closer to the coast and export markets, while Montilla, further inland, has traditionally lacked an international audience.

  • Basic Winemaking and Enology – 4
    Basic Winemaking and Enology – 4 Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. ellipsoideus Microorganisms and Fermentation. Wine yeasts are saprophytes. They are fungi living on dead or decaying organic matter. "Sapro" is from "sapros" (rotten) spoken by people of Greece starting about 1000 B.C. A saprophyte is any plant that depends on other dead plant or animal tissue for a source of nutrition and metabolic energy, e.g., most fungi (molds) and a few flowering plants, such as Indian pipe and some orchids. Most saprophytes do not produce chlorophyll and therefore do not photosynthesize; they are thus dependent on the food energy they absorb from the decaying tissues, which they help to break down. The controlled fermentation of grape juice seems to be as ancients as Man’s written records. Anton van Leeuwenhoek of Delft, the first to use the microscope in rigorous scientific studies, made his most important discovery early in his career. In 1674, he recognized the true nature of microorganisms. He began to observe bacteria and protozoa, or, as he called them his "very little animalcules", which he was able to isolate from different sources. In 1687 he made drawings of what he titled “Crystals in Vinegar”. The ellipses under D, are thought to be yeast cells. Even though van Leeuwenhoek seems to have seen yeast, the role of yeast in winemaking was not understood until Louis Pasteur published “Etudes sur le Vin” in 1866. At the time of Pasteur, a large portion of the wines of Europe spoiled readily. He showed the basic understanding of fermentation and proposed the methods for controlling wines soundness.
