Additional Information

Start the new year off in style! Until fairly recently if you asked anyone to name high quality Spanish wine, Rioja would be the only answer. Ribera del Duero, then Priorat have gained recognition and with the fame inevitably came higher prices.


Tempranillo is grown almost nowhere else in the world other than Spain.

Today, exciting wines are being produced all over Spain and great values can still be found if you know where to look.

Wines from Valencia now represent the new face of the Mediterannean - wines that can draw on centuries of tradition and experience given a modern makeover.

Mingo shows just how far Valencia has come since the days it was known mainly for sweet, fortified Moscatel.

A whole new breed of wines is coming out of Spain, driven by the ambition of winemakers who have realized the enormous potential of their vineyards struggling to survive in the rocky, inhospitable land.

With the help of modern winemaking technology, growers have turned their handicap into an asset, especially when they join forces and form cooperatives like La Viña.La Viña sources has vineyards all over the Valencia region and a top-notch winery for modern vinification. Serve this easy drinking wine with anything from a steak to pizza.
