The Spain chapter/map survey Galicia, Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Toro, Rueda, Bierzo, Navarra, Somontano, Priorat/Montsant, Penedes and Castilla-La Mancha. Rioja provides examples of multi-variety and multi-subregion blending plus different American/French oak use. The author distinguishes age categories that require cask time from other age terminology and notes that more barrel time is not always an improvement.
