Quantity and value, with many excellent exceptions, have been the words to define Spanish wines outside our borders. During the last 20-30 years, the wine revolu- tion in Spain has, like a tsunami, covered the whole country. The innovations in Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Cava, Sherry, and so on were per- haps logical and predictable, but the tsunami has also changed the face of all other regions: Rías Baixas, Rueda, Toro, Somontano, Navarra, Cataluña, Levante and more. It’s difficult to find another place in the world where similar in- vestments have been made, where so many enthusiastic young winemakers have been born or where so many traditional wineries have re-invented themselves. This revolution has taken place both in the wineries and in the vineyards. The investment made by wineries in technology, new facilities, R&D… has been fundamental. We now have state-of-the-art technology: optical sorting machines, small vats with temperature and pump over automatic control, sophisticated NUMBER 28_may_2018 NUMBER 5 WELCOME analysing machines, bottling lines that look like Spanish wines are arguably among the best Guillermo de Aranzabal laboratories, etc. This is the impressive science wines in the World.

The time to place Spa- nish wines where they should be in interna- tional markets, restaurants and best-wine lists. The MW Symposium, coming to Spain for the very first time, is our great opportunity. We’re proud of our achievements and eager to show our wines to the world. Who else better than the MWs, truly wine experts, leaders and opi- nion formers? Their influence covers all aspect of the wine business: from the press and bu- yers, to sellers, authors, educators, restaurant owners and sommeliers. Spain can celebrate its own MWs. Pedro Ba- llesteros and Fernando Mora are joined by others who have adopted Spain and live and work here for Spanish wines at least like the best locals. They are Andreas Kubach, Norrel Robertson and David Forer. And more stu- dents are working hard to pass the exams and increase the number of “our” MWs. At the Fundación para la Cultura del Vino we are very proud that the annual Masterclass with the IMW in Haro is having such success in recruiting potential students to the Study Programme (see Lynne Coyle’s article in the following pages). 6 EDITORIALWELCOME Welcome Jane Masters MW As Chairman of the Institute of Masters of Wine, it is my pleasure to write the introduc- tion to this issue Terruños. The aim of the Institute of Masters of Wine is to promote excellence, interaction and learning across the global wine community, a mission closely aligned to the Fundación para la Cultura del Vino, the sponsors of our 2018 symposium. This magazine is published to celebrate the ninth International Masters of Wine Sympo- sium - Living Wine – in Logroño, in the heart of the Rioja region of Spain. Held every four years, our symposia attract 450+ leading wine professionals from around the world to share thoughts and experiences and discuss issues important for the successful future of our international trade. Previous symposia have been held in Perth, Vienna, Napa, Bordeaux NUMBER 28_may_2018NÚMERO 28_mayo_2018 NUMBER 7 WELCOME and Florence.
