More information on of Valence flavors
Valencia is a province in the centre of Spain's sunny east coast, perhaps better known for its oranges (and paella) than its wine. The administrative Center of Valencia is the city of the same name, the third largest in Spain and the largest port on the Mediterranean. Archaeological evidence suggests that wine making in Valencia dates back more than a thousand years, but the region has never been particularly prominent on the world wine map. In modern times, Valencia's wine production has focused on quantity rather than quality, although this is gradually changing.
In addition to the DO Valencia title, this province is also home to the Denominación de Origen Utiel-Requena. The laws relating to DO Valencia are overseen by the local Consejo Regulador (wine authority), established in 1957. The Valencia DO wine title covers 13,000 hectares (32,000 acres), unevenly divided between two distinct geographical areas. The smaller area, Clarino, is about 65 kilometers (40 miles) southwest of the city of Valencia, bordering the northern boundary of the Alicante DO area.

None suffered more horribly than the growers of Germany’s Ahr valley, where floodwaters caused by the fou ...
Reserva de la Tierra labelling fraud scandal sees its day in court
A judge ordered a cumulative bail of €65 million (£56m) be set for six defendants in the case, and the court is asking for up to €25m in damages – based on information that the fraudulent scheme helped the company to generate more than €14m in net profits between 2019 and 2021 alone. The case started in late 2021 when news broke that three Denominations of Origin (DOs) in the Catalunya region – those representing Montsant, Priorat, and Terra Alta – had filed legal proceedings against the wine co ...
Hugh Johnson: ‘Veteran wine books are by modern standards short on facts’
When you have an idea that, in your first flush of inspiration, you think deserves to get beyond the breakfast table, you run straight into the modern dilemma. Is it a Tweet? Is it one for Facebook or Instagram? Should you just try it out on your nearest and dearest, or is there a book in it? A slim volume, or does it need several tomes to expound its profundity? My trade being what it is, and royalties being as modest as they are these days, I’ve rather given up on books. Writing new ones, that ...
