The 2013 was tough competition, but the spectacular 2014 Pedra de Guix was even better. It's the same blend of Pedro Ximénez, Garnacha Blanca and Macabeo grapes grown on clay, slate and stony soils, respectively, that fermented and aged separately in 500-liter oak barrels where it matured for about one year and then was blended and kept in larges foudres until bottling in mid June 2016. This is tremendously mineral, austere and linear, straight and vertical. There is an austerity that made me think of the classical limestone texture, and Dominik told me that the soils where PX is grown is very white. It's even less oxidative, as if it was aging at a slower pace. This is really tasty, balanced and serious, it should go well with food and it has the potential for a great development in bottle. Furthermore, Dominik Huber believes this is the longest lived wine from the winery. 4,668 bottles were produced in 2014.

Region: Cataluna

For thousands of years, Spain's beautiful wine region of Catalunya has been a powerful center of wine production, with much archaeological evidence to suggest that quality vines were being cultivated in the fine Catalan soils many hundreds of years before even the first Roman settlers arrived. The wonderful coastal Mediterranean climate of the region creates an ideal environment for viticulture, and the excellent conditions are improved further by the mineral rich soils which cover much of the region's valleys and hillsides. As a result, the bodegas and wineries which operate in Catalunya are able to grow a wide variety of imported and native grape varietals, and are able to produce their famous sparkling Cava wines in large quantities, alongside the many still red and white wine bottles which are brought out each year to critical acclaim.

Country: Spain

From the deep and intense Rioja wines, or the dry and refreshing Ruedas, from Tempranillos to Verdejos, the range and quality of Spanish wines is always going to impress and fascinate. With several thousand years of traditions and expertise leading the way, Spanish wineries are currently producing some of the most flavorful and interesting wines to come out of Europe, striving to overcome the reputation problems the country suffered in the mid to late twentieth century. Despite being one of the largest producers of wine in the world, with billions of bottles being filled each year, Spanish wine producers are more interested in quality over quantity than ever before. The results of this are some truly world class wines rivaling even the finest produce of France in regards to balance, character and flavor, gaining new fans and enthusiasts every day.
