Wines and Landscapes

During the last 25 years, the transformation in the quality and image of Spanish wines has been nothing short of remarkable. In this book, Jeremy Watson writes knowledgeably about the quiet revolution in the Spanish wine trade, then takes us on a oenological journey through all the regions of Spain, from the world-famous Roija to Andalucia and the Canary Islands. Drawing on extensive research, he offers a wealth of information about vineyards, grape and wine varieties, wine laws and denominations of origin, as well as methods of winemaking, such as wood aging, oak barrels and the new technology. This is a relaxed, highly pleasurable guide; enhanced by Murray Zanoni's watercolor illustrations, it will add greatly to any enthusiast's knowledge and enjoyment of wine.
