10 Highly Rated Spanish Red Wines 10 HIGHLY RATED SPANISH RED WINES Until recently, the red wines of Spain have been a well-kept secret. Now Spanish bodegas are creating some of the finest wines in the world. We have selected for you a representative selection from leading Spanish reds all rated 90+ Points. Bernabé Navarro Beryna 2016 Green’s Cash Price: “The flagship red 2016 Beryna is now a blend of Monastrell with 30% Garnacha, a Mediterranean blend of older and younger vines…The palate is medium- bodied, with very tasty flavor and fine-grained tannins. It’s a serious, somehow austere Mediterranean red.” Rated 92 Points-Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate Grifoll Declara-Predicat 2014 Green’s Cash Price: “Black cherry and blackberry flavors are ripe yet fresh in this focused red, accented by loamy earth, espresso and mineral notes. Light, well-integrated tannins and balsamic acidity give this focus. Harmonious.” Rated 90 Points-Wine Spectator Cellars Tarrone Terra Alta Punt i Grenache 2015 Green’s Cash Price: “Mulberry and boysenberry fruits on the nose with ripe plush tannins, good balance and a stony minerally edge through the finish.” Rated 91 Points-James Suckling Zuazo Gaston Finca Costanillas 2015 Green’s Cash Price: “A different wine, with a unique balsamic quality (herbs) on the nose and marked tannins on the palate, but also with strength and freshness, and a reasonably long, frank and equally balsamic finish.” Rated 92 Points-James Suckling Bernabé Navarro Tragolargo Monastrell Alicante 2017 Green’s Cash Price: “Dusty cherries, raspberry leaf and something spicy and earthy makes it very attractive and approachable. It’s not terribly complex, but it’s very drinkable, with some fine tannins, and has the stuffing to stand up to food and develop in bottle for a few years.” Rated 90 Points-Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate Vega Moragona Tempranillo 2015 Green’s Cash Price: “Ripe blackberry fruit and generous body, but also a lively style with a healthy acidity and a clean finish.” Rated 90 Points-James Suckling Bodegas del Rosario Bullas Cuatro Las Reñas 2015 Green’s Cash Price: “Wine made with grapes of the Monastrell, Syrah and Tempranillo varieties, selected at their optimal moment of ripeness to offer wines that contribute the typical aromas and taste of a young wine, but with enough structure to withstand a short stay in barrels, which helps to give them more complexity and finesse.” Rated 90 Points-James Suckling Bodegas Campiña Viñas Centenarias 2014 Green’s Cash Price: “Opaque violet color. Aromas and flavors of stewed black cherries, black pepper, and cured meat with a crisp, dry-yet-fruity medium body and an appealing, medium-length finish with soft, medium tannins and light oak flavor. A perfect introduction to Spain! Full and fresh with fruit and just a touch of tannin.” Rated 92 Points-James Suckling Bodegas Alceño Romeo Selección Monastrell 2015 Green’s Cash Price: “This Monastrell is full and a beautiful, deep dark red. The nose has a little red berry fruit with hints of spice and pepper. On the palate, it is quite supple and brings the nose to life. It finishes round and juicy.” Rated 92 Points-James Suckling Las Renas Bullas Monastrell 2015 Green’s Cash Price: “A delicious red with dark berry fruit and hints of cedar. Medium body, clean finish. Drink now.” Rated 90 Points-James Suckling 15% DISCOUNT ON 6 BOTTLES OR MORE!

  • Prospect on Rare Earth Elements and Metals Fingerprint for the Geographical Discrimination of Commercial Spanish Wines
    molecules Article Prospect on Rare Earth Elements and Metals Fingerprint for the Geographical Discrimination of Commercial Spanish Wines Claudia Cerutti 1, Raquel Sánchez 2,* , Carlos Sánchez 2, Francisco Ardini 1, Marco Grotti 1 and José-Luis Todolí 2 1 Department of Chemistry and Industrial Chemistry, University of Genoa, Via Dodecaneso 31, 16146 Genoa, Italy; [email protected] (C.C.); [email protected] (F.A.); [email protected] (M.G.) 2 Department of Analytical Chemistry, Nutrition and Food Science, University of Alicante, P.O. Box 99, 03080 Alicante, Spain; [email protected] (C.S.); [email protected] (J.-L.T.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 6 November 2020; Accepted: 25 November 2020; Published: 28 November 2020 Abstract: This paper presents a novel tool for Spanish commercial wine discrimination according to their designation of origin (PDO). A total of 65 commercial wines from different Spanish designation of origin (Alicante, Bullas, Campo de Borja, Jumilla, Castilla la Mancha, Ribeiro, Ribera de Duero, Rioja, Rueda, Utiel-Requena, Valdepeñas and Valencia) were characterized. The rare earth elements (REEs) content was determined by a high-temperature torch integrated sample introduction system (hTISIS) coupled to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The REE content was used to draw characteristic PDOs radar charts. Results indicated that the REEs fingerprint provides a good prospect to discriminate the different Spanish PDOs, except for Alicante, Castilla la Mancha, Jumilla, Utiel-Requena and Valdepeñas. Finally, for those PDOs that were not properly distinguished, a second fingerprint obtained from Ba, Co, Cr, Mn, Ni, Pb and V content was used for discrimination purposes.

  • Casa Del Canto Casa Del Canto
    CASA DEL CANTO CASA DEL CANTO CASA DEL CANTO DO YECLA A wine singing with the great personality of Monastrell • Award-winning, Mediterranean-style, Monastrell- based wines. • Yecla is a small D.O. with very few wineries. Particularly well thought of by Robert Parker. • The cockerel weather vane symbol is expressive of the area’s rural ambience and links with the name Canto which also refers to the crowing of a cockerel. CASA DEL CANTO DO Navarra DOCa Rioja DO Rías Baixas DO Somontano DO Cataluña DO Ribera del Duero DO Campo DO Toro DO Costers del Segre de Borja DO Cava DO Cariñena DO Penedés DO Rueda DOCa Priorat DO La Mancha DO Valencia DO Utiel-Requena DO Yecla DO Jumilla DO Valdepeñas DO Bullas CASA DEL CANTO CASA DEL CANTO YECLA (MURCIA) • Yecla is an exciting discovery region, endorsed by Robert Parker in 2011 as one of three areas in Spain with the most potential. • Located in the north of Spain’s Murcia region which is bounded on the east by the province of Alicante and Albacete to the north and west. • The vineyards are set around the town of Yecla in South East Spain, between 400m and 800m above sea level, in a rugged hilly “spaghetti western” landscape where the influences of the Spanish Meseta meet the Mediterranean plain. Sun-drenched days and low rainfall contrast with cool nights, providing excellent grape growing conditions. • Two sub-regions: Campo Arriba: the northern part of Yecla between 700-800m. Soil: 70% limestone, 15% clay, 15% sand, poor in organic material, dry.

Senior Theses. 277. https://scholarcommons.sc.edu/senior_theses/277 This Thesis is brought to you by the Honors College at Scholar Commons. It has been accepted for inclusion in Senior Theses by an authorized administrator of Scholar Commons. For more information, please contact [email protected]. 1 Thesis Summary The Spanish wine scene is incredibly diverse, and an immense number of different wines are made in the country. Likewise, Spain is incredibly rich in culture, with a wide array of languages, histories, cultures, and cuisines found throughout the nation. The sheer number and variety of Spanish wines and the incredible variety of cultures found in Spain may be daunting to the uninitiated. Thus, a guide to Spanish wine and culture, which not only details the two but links them, as well, may prove very helpful to the Spanish wine newcomer or perhaps even a sommelier. This thesis-guide was compiled through the research of the various Denominaciones de Origen of Spain, the history of Spain, the regions of Spain and their individual histories and cultures, and, of course, the many, many wines of Spain.
