Country/Region :
Spain
Like its neighbor, Portugal, on the Iberian Peninsula, Spain endured a decades-long dictatorship, joining the modern world full-force only after the death of Franco. As with Portugal, this meant a major game of catch-up for the wine industry. What's happening? A new generation of winemakers and consultants, a new appreciation of what grapes do well and an open-mindedness about trying new international varietals like Syrah, an infusion of cash via the EU for improving the country's infrastructure and for modern equipment in the winery, and a well-founded place of pride in the wine industry's accomplishments and newly-won position in the international marketplace.
