ROAD TRIP The Best of Spain THE HEREDAD COLLECTION SHOWCASES SPAIN'S BEST DENOMINACIONES DE ORIGEN story and photos by Rob Brown A s one of Spain's most important wine companies, Freixenet feels it is important to bring attention not just to its celebrated cavas, but to wines from across the country. With wines from several of the most dynamic DOs (Denominaciones de Origen), Freixenet's Heredad Collection is a tour of Spain in wine. The concept is to show- case the best vineyards and wineries in DOs such as Ribera del Duero, Rioja, Rías Baixas, Penedès, Priorat and Montsant. Postcards from Priorat include Morlanda assistant winemaker María-José Bajón and the Morlanda winery. The Morlanda 2007 Criança is a tremendous 50/50 blend of Grenache and Cariñena. september 201 1 / the tasting panel / 119
