The New Spain brings the reader up to date with Spain's fast-changing wine scene. The dramatic leap in quality in the vineyards of Spain in recent years makes this a timely examination of the country's wines. The New Spain offers a region-by-region tour, ranging from classics such as Rioja and sherry to relative newcomers such as Ribera del Duero and Navarra. Includes a guide to vineyard classification, grapes, soil, climate, and winemaking processes.

Excellent Introduction to Spanish Wine,

This review is from: The New Spain: A Complete Guide to Contemporary Spanish Wine (Hardcover)
I import Spanish wine for a living and I like this book as very informative, interesting and up-to-date guide. It works for both the newcomer and the experienced wine drinker looking for a jump-start on Spanish wines particularly emerging regions. I will be giving this as a gift to my customers.

Fabulous Photography!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The New Spain: A Complete Guide to Contemporary Spanish Wine (Hardcover)
John Radford's book is worth acquiring for the pictures alone! I was amazed at how the photos reminded me of my own wanderings around the Spanish countryside. They truly capture the deep colors of the vineyards and surrounding land that makes this book invaluable for the armchair traveller. Grape varieties and regions are dealt with in detail. If you want to have a great book on wine, and see amazing pictures of seldom seen Spain, this is THE book!!

For Anyone Interested in Spanish Wine,
By Christopher Barrett "Evil Corgi" (Portland, Oregon) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The New Spain: A Complete Guide to Contemporary Spanish Wine (Hardcover)
I'll be brief: there is no finer in depth book about Spanish wine on the market to date. I cannot recommend the books published by Mitchell Beazley highly enough. I have found them indespensible for my studies towards my Master of Wine.Pros: beautiful photos, in depth regional info, producer bios. Cons: you need a 'decent' wine education before tackling this one.
