Spain
Over the next three centuries, Spain became the most important colonial power in the world, establishing a vast empire in the Americas and western Pacific. However, Spain became involved in court intrigue in other European countries, finding itself in numerous wars that led to economic ruin.
The English defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, and the war that continued until 1604 nearly destroyed the national treasury of Spain.
Becoming Wine—At the foot of the Canabrian Mountains in Northern Spain
In the month of January, when the malolactic fermentation process is completed (breaking down malic acid into lactic acid), the vats are selected. A tasting committee determines the characteristics of the wines, separating the wines which have come from young vines destined for sale in bulk.
The area is well protected from prevailing winds and frost. It is where the the Nuestra Señora de Remelluri estate and vineyared is located.
Of the 380 acres of chalky clay soil, 260 are used for the vineyard. This unusual land is what gives the wine personality. It is poor, stony ground, with layers of clay which retain freshness and moisture. All of this allows the fruit to ripen with subtlety and balance.
