How about Spanish red wine and what is the difference in taste between Spanish red wine and French r

Spain is a warm European country with the largest number of grape plantations in the world. Spain is largely a plateau, with even the coastal plains being very narrow, and the interior of the country is hot and dry, with very cold winters, and many areas where it is almost impossible to grow crops other than grapes. This harsh growing environment, combined with extensive cultivation, has resulted in Spain having the third largest total grape production compared to Italy and France.

Spain has more than 600 grape varieties, with white varieties predominantly and 18-20 varieties that are really used regularly.

It is said that the first people introduced grapes to Spain were the Phoenicians, but according to the archaeological data of the International Wine Association (archaeological group) in recent years, it is confirmed that there were vines and wine production in Spain more than 4,000 years ago. In any case, it is an indisputable fact that the Spaniards have a long history of winemaking, but the cultivation and wine-making techniques of the Spaniards have not evolved with the times. In the mid-to-late 19th century, French vineyards were infested with budworms, and many French vintners went to other countries to find wine and buy grapes, and places such as La Rioja and Penedes in northern Spain were among their targets.

They taught the locals a lot of winemaking tricks, and the quality of Spanish wines was greatly improved. Since joining the European Union, Spain has received a lot of financial assistance to improve equipment and technology, and the wine industry should have made greater progress, but the unwillingness of winegrowers to reduce production and abandon too many old plants (15 grapes are more than 45 years old) have not improved the quality of the grapes, which has affected the overall performance of the wine. However, in recent years, Spain's great progress in winemaking technology has been internationally recognized.

Grading system: 1) Vino de Mesa (VDM): The lowest level of the hierarchy.

2) VINO COMARCal (VC): one level higher than VDM, but there is also no strict production method regulation.

3) Vino de la Tierra (VDLT): One level higher than VC, with few and simple regulations, equivalent to the French Vin de Pay (regional table wine).

4) VCPRD: Premium wines of the AOC, which are further divided into two types:

denominaci'On de Origen: Abbreviated as DO, in order to become a DO region, in addition to establishing a strict control system, the wines produced must also follow the traditional winemaking methods and have a certain popularity.

denominaci'On de Origen Calificada: DOC, a standard that has only been established since 1991, requires all wines from this region to be bottled at the place of origin. Only Leoha has a doc at the moment.

1. The taste is different.

French red wine has a slightly sour taste, which is more soothing, and the taste is more delicate and gentle, and the more you taste it, the more you taste it, and there is a rich sense of change in the mouth.

Spain's red wines come in a variety of styles and tastes. Most of the Spanish red wines have a persistent aroma, with herbaceous and cocoa, a bit milky and a strong taste.

2. Different colors.

French wines are darker in colour, especially those from the Bordeaux region. In other regions, the Bergenyne and Miti regions are lighter in color and the aroma comes from wood.

Red wines in Spain are lighter in color, with some browns.

3. The smell is different.

The aroma of Spanish wine is completely based on natural fruit aromas, so it is easily accepted by a wide range of people. On the other hand, French red wine has a pleasant fruity taste, a strong burgundy wine, less tannin components, and its aroma mainly comes from wood, with a strong sense of layering.

French wines are more delicate and gentle, while Spanish wines are more unrestrained.

Spain and France both belong to the Old World countries, but in the current Chinese market, Spain is not as popular as French wine, I have been making Spanish imported wine for 5 years, turned to French wine, the entire Spanish wine market in China has shrunk greatly since 2012, the reason is the taste:

French wine is as balanced and rich as possible, most of them are blended, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and other more mainstream varieties are widely planted, these varieties are also planted in China, so we are easy to accept, and the most important grape variety in Spain is Tempenero (or translated as Tempranillo), this variety, high acid and high tannins, but the Spaniards also particularly like to be aged in oak barrels for a long time, oak barrels increase the strength of tannins, and there are more obvious smoky and leathery flavors, these, It is not what the Chinese public likes when they first come into contact with wine, and in layman's terms, it is more heavy taste.
