Spanish Steps

a journey round Spain's lesser known DOs

Rioja sells.  The other regions, less famous, can sometimes struggle.  Spanish Steps is an educational brand that takes the consumer on a vinous journey through Spain's lesser known wine regions.  Five wineries from the region of Castilla y Leon have been working hand in hand with us to create a single brand to deliver a variety of interesting flavours to the final consumer.  See the full story on www.spanishstepswine.com.  We also have a Powerpoint presentation here

Spanish Steps Rueda 2012
made from 100% Verdejo   Crisp clean, steely dry white with some 'sur lie' character

Spanish Steps Arribes red 2012

The Arribes region lies on the 'International Douro/Duero', right next to the Portuguese border.  The Juan García grape holds sway here.  High in acidity it is perfect for making delicious red wine with a vivid colour and brilliant red-fruit character.  Ours has a lick of French oak too.

Spanish Steps Toro 2011/12
From the ultra-modern Monte La Reina winery, here are Toro wines that are full of character and flavour yet frighteningly easy to drink.  100% Tempranillo (known here as Tinta de Toro)

Spanish Steps Ribera del Duero 2010
winner of the Silver medal at the Decanter World Wine Awrads 2013.   Rich ripe and seductive tempranillo - liquid velvet! 

Spanish Steps Bierzo 2011

winner of the bronze medal at the Decanter World Wine Awrads 2013.  Chunky red wine with bright fruit flavour, rich dense body, and a rounded finish.  100% Mencia grape variety

The full range is available in Ireland through Classic Drinks
