During the last 25 years, the transformation in the quality and image of Spanish wines has been nothing short of remarkable. In The Wines and Landscapes of Spain, Jeremy Watson
writes knowledgeably about the "quiet revolution" in the Spanish wine trade, then takes us on an oenological journey through all the regions of Spain, from the world-famous Rioja 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. The Wines and Landscapes of Spain 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.
