Huge, diverse production area where La Rioja, Priorat and Ribera Del Duero get the most airtime. Penedes is the DO that produces the Spanish sparkling, Cava and Jerez (Sherry) produces the famous fortified styles. Up and coming areas such as Rias Baixas, Ribeiro and Bierzo are producing modern styles from Albarino, Godello and Mencia.
