Yuncang winery's brand LEESON red wine shares Spanish wine classification

Yuncang Winery’s brand LEESON red wine shares that Spain and France are adjacent to the old world wine producing area. Although it is not as famous as France, the quality of the wine is also very good, and the price is higher than other well-known wines. National wines are more accessible. Spain has many high-quality, diverse and unique wines, known as the most avant-garde wine-making country in the old world, and has gained many fans all over the world. Spanish wine also has a very strict classification system. From lowest to highest are:

Daily table wine ( VDM, Vino De Mesa), this level of wine is generally made from a blend of grapes from different production areas. It is easy to drink and cheap, equivalent to the French VDT level.

High-quality daily table wine (VC, Vino comarcal), compared with daily table wine, this level requires the wine to be in a specific area, and there are no rigid requirements for grape varieties, yields, and aging. VC is a high-quality wine with geographical indications, but it is not as high-quality as DO. Similar to France's VDQS level, as a transitional stage.

D0, Denomination De Origin is comparable to French AOC, with stricter control over production areas and wine quality. However, 62% of the country's vineyards have DO qualifications, making it impossible to use DO to distinguish the quality.

High-quality legal area wine (DOCa, Denomination De Origin Calificda ) DOCa is the highest level of Spanish wine. This is the highest level of Spanish wine. It strictly stipulates the scope of vineyards, wine grape varieties, viticulture methods and pruning methods, grape yield, brewing and aging techniques, aging storage conditions and minimum alcohol content. There are currently only two production areas that meet DOCa standards, namely Rioja and Priorat .

Many people think that the highest level of Spanish wine is "single estate wine". In fact, this perception is not objective. Although single estate wine is placed at the "top of the pyramid", it cannot be said to be the best. The quality of wine depends on Quality, not title.

According to the ripening time of grapes, no matter which country's wine, there are generally three grades: Crianza, Reserva, and Gran Reserva .
