📗 Libro en inglés THE NEW AND CLASSICAL WINES OF SPAIN

The new generation of Spanish wines, which are recognised now as being amongst the best in the world, has resulted from the combination of two essential factors: on the one hand, the sound tradition and experience of winemaking in Spain; on the other hand, the latest technology and practices that have been adopted during the past thirty years, both in vineyards and wineries. This has given place to a wine revolution without precedent which Jeremy Watson has witnessed at first hand. English wine writer devoted to Spain, Watson is the former Director of Wines from Spain in Britain. In this outstanding book, he offers an exhaustive examination of Spain's wine industry. He first explains the main viticulture and vinification factors that have influenced the transformation and creation of new styles of traditional and modern wines. After that, he describes the 64 Spanish Denominations of Origin and profiles on more than 350 Bodegas with over 750 wines carefully selected and commented. This is definitely an exceptional, value-added book, backed by 74 specially commissioned maps and 500 mostly original photographs and illustrations covering vineyards and Bodegas throughout the country.
