Spanish Wines - Wine Wednesday

This week’s lineup highlights three regions, three grapes, and three distinct expressions of Spanish terroir. From the high plains of Rueda, Verdejo often shows citrus brightness, herbal lift, and a touch of salinity thanks to its limestone-rich soils and altitude. Garnacha around Valencia tends to highlight the grape’s Mediterranean side—ripe red fruit, supple tannins, and a pinch of spice. And in Rioja, producers like Alberto Orte showcase why the region remains a benchmark, with wines that balance layered fruit, savory depth, and age-worthy structure.

Join us for a tour through Spain’s classics and up-and-comers!
