沉睡的珍宝
说起西班牙,人们会联想到勇敢豪放的斗牛、狂热不受拘束弗拉明戈舞、毕加索与高迪的大师级艺术等享誉全球的文化艺术瑰宝,很少有人会想到西班牙的葡萄酒。
这与当地政府及产区的宣传力度有所欠缺有关,也与西班牙的文化有关,西班牙语没有“营销”一词,过去被动地等待订单已成常态,因此西班牙的葡萄酒往往被“忽略”。但我们不可以再让如此的瑰宝继续沉睡。

西班牙葡萄品种繁多,近600多个品种,采用频率较高的只有18~20种。红葡萄酒色泽浓重,如身披红色斗蓬的西班牙女郎,让人沉醉;又如斗牛士手中抖动着的红色布缦,让人激情昂扬。
据说世界著名文豪海明威便是西班牙红酒的狂热“FANS”,当初在创作以西班牙内战为背景的《战地钟声》时,每天饮有“斗牛之血”称号的里奥哈酒,文思泉涌,终成名作。

西班牙犹如上天誉顾的国家,不仅环境优美、阳光明媚,更重要的是西班牙人利用这天时地利人和的条件酿出了很多世界知名的美酒。时至今日,他们仍保留传统的古法酿酒,在品尝着古朴原味而香醇的葡萄美酒的同时,我们更应该感受那蕴藏在酒香中的西班牙文化。
