Alongside its classic styles, Spain is producing a raft of exciting alternatives, taking advantage of new winemaking techniques while rediscovering native grapes and reinventing traditional styles. Chris Wilson recommends a selection of classic and new-wave bottles from recent tastings.
Altos de Losada 2018, vino de villa de Valtuille de Arriba
The thick-skinned Mencía grape can produce butch, heavy wines but here it’s showcased in all its floral, red-fruited glory. A light-footed approach draws out the strawberry jam and blueberry characters, which are nicely off-set by toasty oak and a smidge of set honey on the finish. Refreshing and approachable.

Even in DO regions which have emerged in more recent times and those with more challenging climates there is enthusiasm for similar schemes. Bierzo, located at the north-western tip of Castile and León and bordering Galicia, is keen to put villages and locations on the map with both the Vinos de Villa and Vinos de Paraje classifications. Indeed giving the nature of this DO which, like Priorat, tends to feature small vineyard holdings and a rich variety of locations, the move arguably makes good sense having put its flagship red grape Mencía on the wine map.
Here Losada Vinos de Finca has played an important role in defining the new style of Bierzo wines with winemaker Amancio Fernández at the helm. Turning to the region’s new classifications, the bodega is now backing both horses with one Vino de Paraje – Altos de Losada La Bienquerida - and two Vino de Villa wines – Villa de San Lorenzo and Villa de Valtuille de Arriba - already in the market. Fernández is keen to point out that gaining the official classifications are far more relevant for marketing the wines as he explains: “We were already working along these lines in the bodega – our winemaking hasn’t changed – the classifications are geared to help the consumer to discover the diversity on offer.”

Finca Losada wurde im Jahr 2005 gegründet. Von Beginn an ist Amancio Fernández mit dabei und für die Weinbereitung zuständig. Er stammt aus dem Bierzo – sein Vater und Onkel waren bereits Weinbauern – und hat eine Zeit lang als Weinmacher in Ribera del Duero gearbeitet. Für das Losada-Projekt zog es ihn dann wieder zurück in seine Heimatregion.
Jene D.O. Bierzo ist mit etwa 2500 Hektar Rebland eine kleine Appellation. Die Fläche entspricht im Vergleich nur vier Prozent zu jener der DOCa Rioja. Das Gebiet gehört zu Kastilien-León; es grenzt direkt an Galicien und weist einige Gemeinsamkeiten mit dortigen Anbaugebieten wie Valdeorras und Ribeira Sacra auf. Dazu später mehr.
Zum Atlantik beträgt die Luftlinie etwa 100 Kilometer. Da Berge das Bierzo abschirmen, können die Regenwolken vom Ozean nicht ungehindert hereinziehen. Mit jährlich 700 bis 800 mm Niederschlag gehört das Bierzo aber immer noch zum “grünen Spanien”. Gleichzeitig kommt das Gebiet auf über 2000 Sonnenstunden im Jahr. Zudem verfügt es über Höhenlagen, die für kühle Sommernächte sorgen – der Weinbau findet auf 450 bis 800 Metern statt. Lassen wir nun Amancio Fernández zu Wort kommen. Wie beschreibt er das Bierzo-Klima?
