Although Spain has over 2.9 million grapes planted making it the most widely planted wine producing nation, it is only the third largest producer of wine in the world. This is due to the very low yields and wide spacing of the old vines planted on the dry, infertile soil found in many humid Spanish wine regions. Spain has an abundance of native grape varieties, with over 400 varieties planted throughout Spain, however 80 percent of the country's wine production is from only 20 grapes. At House of Townend we have very longstanding and strong relationships with many Spanish producers, including a range of wines from the outstanding Rioja Vega who we have worked closely with for over two decades.
