Black Elk Moscato

Spain’s geography is unpredictable and harsh, its history convoluted, and when it comes to culture, the Spanish people expect variety! The numerous wines produced include old-fashioned relics, cutting edge novelties, and everything in between, and the wines can be strongly individualistic.

So we should not be surprised that the story of its wines is equally unique, and each of the many viticultural regions has its own personality. The most important feature of the climate is the relentless sunshine which can raise sugar levels in wine grapes, and therefore alcohol levels in the finished wines, to astronomical levels. It also concentrates wine flavors wonderfully. Coastal plains or terraces are often cut off from the interior by mountain ranges, but in the majority of wine growing areas, modifying marine influences of the Mediterranean and Atlantic are negligible. Most of the variable and mountainous terrain toward the center of the country is dry and hot in summer, dry and freezing in winter.

Black Elk is proud to offer the following Spanish wine selections as part of its esteemed multi-country lineup: Chardonnay, Moscato, Tempranillo and Shiraz.

Tempranillo is Spain’s quintessential, indigenous “noble grape” and responsible for making some of Spain’s best wines. It’s a thick-skinned black grape used to make full-bodied red wines.
