With its warm and dry climate Spain is red wine country par excellence. Almost all of the best wines are made to the north of Madrid across the country from the Mediterranean in the East to the Atlantic in the West. The Tempranillo and Garnacha grape types are the major components of the brilliant reds from such classic wine regions as the Rioja, the Ribera del Duero and Toro which borders Portugal. The seminar will focus on these three regions but will also include some reds from areas such as Jumilla in the South, and Calatayud and the Priorat east of the Rioja.
