Spain

Spain is one of the world’s most diverse and historic wine-producing nations, renowned for its regional character and exceptional value. From the sun-drenched plains of La Mancha to the cool Atlantic coast of Galicia, its varied climates and soils yield an extraordinary range of styles.

Tempranillo remains the country’s flagship red, defining the elegant, age-worthy wines of Rioja and Ribera del Duero. Garnacha, Monastrell, and Mencía add vibrant fruit and spice, while Albariño from Rías Baixas brings crisp, oceanic freshness to Spain’s whites. Verdejo and Godello further showcase the country’s growing sophistication in white winemaking.

Beyond still wines, Spain is celebrated for its fortified and aromatized treasures—most notably Sherry from Jerez, with its complex nutty and saline character, and Vermouth, traditionally crafted in Catalonia and gaining new global acclaim. Together, these wines express Spain’s rich heritage, innovation, and enduring passion for craftsmanship and flavor.

As part of the broader La Mancha D.O. zone, El Convertido shares in a viticultural tradition that spans hundreds of thousands of hectares of vineyards across Castilla-La Mancha.

Telmo Rodriguez is one of the most well-known personalities in Spanish winemaking. Though his family home is in Rioja Alavesa, Telmo’s influence can be felt in many regions of Spain. For more than 30 years, Telmo and his business partner, Pablo Eguzkiza, have been rediscovering historic vineyards and investing in infrastructure. Telmo and Pablo were one of the first modern-day winemakers to arrive in Valdeorras and helped bring attention to the incredible terraced vineyards of Ladeiras do Xil. This part of Galicia is the domain of Godello and Mencia, both varieties are often planted in tiny vineyard plots on granitic soils.

A clean, vibrant nose reveals lively aromas of green apple and pear, accented by subtle hints of fresh herbs. The palate is bright and balanced, with crisp acidity that brings harmony and lift. A gentle herbaceous note lingers on the finish, showcasing both depth and excellent varietal character.
