Located on the Iberian Peninsula, Spain has over 2.9 million acres planted—making it the most widely planted wine producing nation, but it is only the third largest producer of wine in the world, the largest being Italy and France.
This is due, in part, to the very low yields and wide spacing of the old vines planted on the dry, infertile soil found in many Spanish wine regions.
One of the dominant geographical influences of Spanish viticulture is the vast plateau known as the Meseta Central that covers much of central Spain. From there flow to the sea several of Spain's principal rivers that are at the heart of many Spanish wine regions.
These include the eastward flowing Ebro river that runs through the Rioja and several Catalan wine regions, the Duero which flows westward through the Ribera del Duero region in Spain before crossing the border into Portugal's Douro Valley which is at the heart of Port wine production, the Tajo which runs through the La Mancha region, Guadalquivir which flows into the Atlantic at the Sherry producing village of Sanlúcar de Barrameda.
