Within this engaging treasury is all the history, lore and cultivation of wine in Spain, a compact digest of encyclopaedic knowledge. Since a country's produce is inextricably tied to the land, its people and their customs, this book also captures the rhythm of flamenco, taps into the spirituality of the ancient pilgrim route Camino de Santiago and savours the food enjoyed alongside Spanish wines: Valencia's paellas, the fabadas of the north, the tapas that accompany every copa in an Andalucian bar.
Sun-drenched watercolour illustrations inspire this oenological journey across the evergreen hillsides of Espana Verde and the arid rockscapes of Extremadura, through vineyards of ripening grapes and shadowy soleras in a celebration of Espana and its magnificent wines.
