ABOUT SPANISH RED BLENDS
Spanish red blends showcase the diversity and innovation in modern Spanish winemaking, combining centuries-old traditions with international grape varieties. Across Spain, from Rioja's tempranillo-based blends to the newer appellations' innovative combinations, the country demonstrates its ability to produce distinctive wines using both native and international grapes. Syrah, which was introduced relatively recently, thrives in Spain's warm, dry climate, especially in regions like Jumilla and Campo de Borja. Spanish winemakers skillfully blend traditional varieties such as Garnacha and Tempranillo with international grapes like Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, creating wines that reflect both Spanish terroir and contemporary winemaking techniques. These blends often deliver intense fruit flavors, complex spice profiles, and great value, making Spanish wines increasingly popular around the world.
