Denominación de Origen	Location	Description

Calatayud	South-west of Saragossa province	White, red and noteworthy rosé wines.

Campo de Borja	North-west of Saragossa province	Fruity white and rosé wine, and full-bodied red wine.

Cariñena	South of Saragossa province	White and rosé wine and very varied red wine, some being very good indeed.

Cava*	North of Spain, especially Catalonia	Cava is Spain's champagne-method sparkling wine and comes in all the same varieties as champagne - brut, seco, etc. There are even rosé cavas. See here for an article on the subject.

Cigales	North of the city of Valladolid	Red and rosé wine, of which the latter is more famous. Strong-flavoured, not to everyone's liking.

Conca de Barberá	North of Tarragona province	White, red and rosé wines, tending to be acidic.

Condado de Huelva	Around the city of Huelva	Strong, sherry-like white wines, well-worth investigating.

Costers de Segre	Scattered around Lerida	Strongish red, white and rosé wine and cava

Chacolí de Bizkaia-Bizkaiko-Txakolin	Only 50 hectares scattered all over Vizcaya (Biscay) province	Essentially white, very slightly sparkling wines, not very strong and often highly aromatic. They have the same meaning for a Basque as a Scotch whisky for a Scot.

Chacolí de Guetaria-Guetariako-Txakolina	Near San Sebastian	Like the txacoli of Vizcaya, with the added peculiarity that it has an aroma imparted by the plaited esparto grass which plays a part in its production process.

El Hierro	The island of El Hierro in the Canaries	Mostly full-bodied whites, some red and rosé wine.
