Been There | Tips | Arcos de la Frontera

Spain

A day without wine is like a day without sunshine, or so the saying goes. While Been there would never endorse binge drinking, we're certainly partial to the odd glass of something fizzy, fruity, sweet or dry. Plus, we're a travel site and wine tourism has certainly caught on in a way that beer never has. So uncork, sit back and send us your wine tips - where to buy it, where to see it made and, of course, where to drink it.

Huerta de Albalá bodega

Posted by Sancho123 30 May 2009

Huerta de Albalá is a newly established vineyard near to Arcos de la Frontera, Andalucía. Founded by Vicente Taberner on land where sunflowers once grew, he believed that a top quality red wine could be produced in an area long regarded by the wine world as being much too hot. The first vintage in 2005 was tasted by wine gurus Jancis Robinson and Robert Parker and sent both into raptures (the latter scoring it 95 points). The bodega can be visited and its wines can be purchased on site.
