Really like how you reveal the individual wines immediately after blind tasting it, as opposed to revealing them all after blind tasting all of them. It makes it easier to keep track which is which
Agreed
There are both types of videos on the channel moving forward. Doesn’t always make sense to do it this way for a multitiude of reasons
Spanish wine value is other worldly. I’ve been on a crazy Spanish wine kick lately. I prefer it whenever I’m grilling food
Ohhhh good call
Right? I constantly try to get them in front of shoppers at my store
Monastrell (aka mourvedre and mataro here in Australia) is another great variety done exceptionally well in Spain.
Can often be found in blends
Yes it is! I did a video about Jumilla a few months back
This is my first experience watching this reviewer’s content. He seems to have total recall of previous experiences and knowledge of regions/wineries. I’m a fan!
🙏🙏🙏
Spain has consistently offered some of the best QPRs in the world.
Totally agree
Loved the tasting, spanish wines are definitely underappreciated! Only thing missing for me was a good Jumilla - Monastrell would be a great tasting counterpoint to the Tempranillo and Garnacha.
There is a whole blind tasting video about Jumilla on the channel
Hooray, a great Spanish mash up. I completely agree that we have to dispel the myth that Spanish wine is what it was 40 years ago. There are all kinds of flavour profiles, interesting grape varieties and wonderful producers. I was recently in Valladolid and my father in law wanted to take me to a bodega. A couple of miles to the east and we're in the heart of Ribera country and there are dozens of producers I've never tasted but making really excellent value wine. A couple of miles to the west and we're in Toro, a region that has transformed itself in quality over the past decades. North and you get Cigales and Rueda whites too. Even a tired old cliché like Rioja is a myth. There are a fantastic range of wines in that region. I should add that Spanish white wine is smashing it too and is very underappreciated.
The world might look on but the Spanish know their wine and food to be excellent. I travel in France and Italy too but Spain is the best for me. Prices are creeping up now though. In Palencia I paid $14 euros for a delicious and massive, three course, menu del dia and a bottle of decent house red. I once asked my father in law why Spain doesn't export any of its superb lamb. He told me they eat it all so there's none left.
I know Matsu and Moradas very well. Some of the others less so but it just proves my point. There's great value out there and I'm pleased that the cheapest bottle was your favourite. There really are fabulously enjoyable wines in Spain. So much so that it's hard to justify spending more than £50 for a bottle, except to experience unicorn status. I've been enjoying 90-95 point Spanish wine for years and the prices have ranged from £10-30 British pounds. Even cheaper in Spain.
+1
As a German that regularly visits Spain and drinks Spanish wine at least monthly, I can only agree with all you wrote.
What the Spanish are missing is being more proud and celebrating their products more to make them famous in the world. France and Italy are better at that, and it shows…
@@AnarchoKapital Thanks for commenting. I think there is great regional pride in Spain but it hardly extends beyond that. Spain has been a very insular country for centuries. They're happy to have their treasure for themselves and aren't particularly interested in what goes on in the outside world (apart from top wine producers of course). The French and Italians export the concept but aren't so good at home in my humble opinion.
Hi, i always read your comments in different Wine channels, never would have guessed you would mention my hometown: Palencia. Glad you enjoyed the meal.
Also, an under-the-radar region in Castilla is arlanza. The quality is increasing a lot and tends to be affordable. Others are gredos and bierzo, but those are well known.
As you mention, quality whites are increasing. I love the albillos, but also viura , treixadura, quality verdejos and so on. Lots to dicover.
Cheers!!!
I really appreciate the comments on the channel and the insight you add on Spanish wine! It’s such a wonderful country.
Tempranillo was my first love, when I was in Barcelona for the first time every evening I finished with bottle of tempranillo and jamon, best days..also I agree Spain is super value for the wine and food
I agree but I have to add every southern European country into that equation. I'll add Lebanon, Israel and Turkey too into that mix. The cradle of civilisation and the eternal question. What is life?
Ohhhh Tempranillo and Jamon 😋🤤
PERFECT way to end the tasting!.. with the highest scoring AND best value! Love your vids Dr. Matt! ❤️🍷
Thank you so much.
I love watching your wine tastings. You remind me of a kid in a candy store. I am slowly becoming a Malbec fan. I should really go through your library and see if you have any tastings on that.
There are!
Love this video! Have travelled to Spain for many decades … studied at the University of Madrid … and even did some graduate work at MSU. Off to Bordeaux soon to study the wine of that region…and restart my French! If you ever need a little help with your Spanish let us know. My wife and I have taught it for a combined total of more than 80 years. She is an MSU grad also! Keep up the good work!
Go green! What did you two study?
My daughter lives in Spain, so we get to enjoy Spanish wine often. Incredible quality and value by the glass. Our Australian old vine Grenache ( world's oldest vines on original root stock) is very very good, so like to sample Tempranillos when in Spain.
Love me old vine Aussie Grenache (there is one in the Grenache blind tasting video)
Hey Matt! Spanish wine has always been a feature of my cellar. Marques De Murietta tonight and Marques De Riscal last night paired with lamb. I am also a fan of Borsao Garnacha. In addition to pairing these wines with food, I would also pair them with literature and music. Reading Don Quixote while listening to Pablo Casals would add to the total immersion that Spain demands. Salud!
Niceee, Borsão Garnacha is in my big Grenache blind tasting video.
I’ve been watching your videos ever since my wife and I decided we were going to go to Rioja Spain for wine country, been hooked ever since. Always great content! Love all the Spain videos obviously.
Niceeee and gracias
I love spanish wines!!!! For me Mencia (especially from Galicia) and tempranillo are the best spain can offer!
Spain offers a lot of exciting wines.
Outstanding as always Matthew and "Thank you" for helping to expand my palate. As someone who is stuck in the Zin, Pinot, Cab, Syrah & Merlot circuit it's nice to see offerings/varietals from other countries that I'm 99.9% sure I'll like. Between this Spain episode and your recent Croatia episode I have a bunch of bottles to hunt down. Thank you again and keep up the great work.
Keep tasting, keep exploring
I have had my all time favorite Spanish red recently: remirez de ganuza rioja reserva 2015. Two different sommeliers recommended it to me in Spain and they were absolutely right. Crazy complexity, such a delight
😮😮😮
You made my day. It wasnt the best day. Just really enjoy you videos and all the work you put into them. I also like both of those wines with Garnacha a little bit more enjoyable. Thank you for another good video
Ahhh glad I could be a part of a little brighter day!
For red wines, I'm team Mencía. When talking about whites I've fallen in love with Godello, but Verdejo is great as a daily drinker. I find that Godello starts delivering only at slightly higher prices (from around 12-15 euros). Verdejo is enjoyable already at around 5-7 euros.
Those are all fun grapes indeed!
just returned from spain....i agree that mencia is fantastic
Great tasting video thanks so much.
🙏🙏
Thanks for perfect tasting. I like Spanish wines and also both varieties. But really interesting wines comes from Bobal grape variety too (Bodegas Ponce). 🍷👍
Thank you
great video.wife and i just got back from two weeks in espana. we visited priorat(perinet) and monsant where the wines are complex and so interesting. as we traveled from city to city we expencienced many different varieties such as ribero de duero,rioja, and white wines from galicia but the wines from mencia/bierzo stood out because they are not as easy to diferentiate between and are unique in taste. great wines for lower prices except priorat
That sounds like a great trip!
Ribera del Duero, Toro, Rueda and Priorat are on the winegeeks radar for quite a while. You can find some good wines for nice prices there. I like them, as Spanish red wines are in general made with less oak these days. Did you do already a vid on Bierzo and Ribeiro? I'm interested what you think of Mencia.
There are Mencias on the channel. I’ve been to the region and love Galacias.
LOVE Spanish wines! Some of the best bang for your buck reds out there, (and white Rioja is a secret gem). Really love Riojas, especially Lopez Heredia. Haven’t had a ton of Garnacha yet, but liked what I tried. Juan Gil has some incredible Monastrell for the money. Still need to try Ribera del Duero.
Ohhh Lopez de Heredia! There is a video about Jumilla on the channel too
@@drmatthewhorkey will go find that video!
love Spanish wines! both Garnacha and Tempranillo. Hey, I think I noticed you reaching for the spit bucket a few times in this video. you must edit out the spitting eh? :). Do you always spit during the tastings? just drink your favourites afterwards?
Always spit. I edit it out
Loving and living in Spain and spanish wines.At the moment i am curious about the grape variety monastrel.
There’s a video a few weeks ago about Jumilla (Monastrell)
Great wines and great value in Monastrel. Go and buy some.
I love both Tempranillo and Garnacha, and think they offer great value - awesome "bang for he buck." While I trust these are all very good wines, it seems to me your scores have been creeping north a bit from what they used to be. One 93, all the rest 91s and 92s with one 90... Like you said, tasting is never 100% objective. You may have been in a very good mood...
All the wines were very good in this set
I guess I should try a better quality Rioja and Tempranillo that I’ve bought at Trader Joe’s ($5-9 plonk), because I found those wines to be astringent and harsh.
You should definitely go a bit better than Trader Joe's. There's a universe of great price/quality.
Yes take a step up! Fantastic Rioja can be had under $20
spain delivers
💪🏼
Caseeees,not casis
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Tempranillo is great but too much American oak kills it with too much vanilla and coconut. Try to know what kind of casks were used before buying, it's my advice.
It's not all American oak any more. Indeed, that big vanilla is more common in French oak. The market kind of likes that though. Anyway, there's tons of alternative stuff and interesting blending and cask influence. Tempranillo, just like Sangiovese, can take a hit.
Welshtoro, french oak is more onto spices and then vanilla. But yeah the Spanish are investing more into European oak casks lately which is good news. However there is still too much wines made with intense American oak shavings...even in the 15-20€ range.
That's why you gotta study your bottles before buying.
Cheers!
The old sterotype of American oak flavors is not the same anymore. There are a lot of wines aged in French oak that are wayyy too oaky and some fantastic coopers of American oak these days.
