HiteJinro announced on the 18th that it will launch two representative wine brands from the southern Humia region and the northeastern Priorat region of Spain. To broaden consumer choices, the lineup has been expanded beyond the existing 10 Spanish brands.

Priorat, located in the southern part of Catalonia in northeastern Spain, is an inland hilly terrain with vineyards formed up to 750 meters above sea level. Due to the large temperature difference between night and day, grapes with high sugar content yet refreshing qualities are produced. It is one of the two regions in Spain that has maintained the highest quality for 10 years and has been awarded the DOCa (Denominacion de Origen Calificada) designation.

'Ferrer Bobet' is a winery representing the Priorat region and was featured in the famous wine manga "Drops of God: The 11th Apostle." Particularly, the 'Licorella' soil of Ferrer Bobet reflects sunlight and heat, causing grape roots to grow deeply. This helps the fruit ripen fully and store sufficient moisture throughout the growing season, which is why some top-tier winery grape varieties are cultivated in this soil. Additionally, Ferrer Bobet uses Carignan and Grenache grapes from specially selected vineyards with vines over 100 years old.

'Ferrer Bobet Vinyes Velles' is made with 86% Carignan and 14% Grenache, bottled without refinement or filtration, and aged for 11 months. It has a deep ruby color with strong fruity aromas, excellent balance, and well-refined acidity. 'Ferrer Bobet Seleccio Especial Vinyes Velles' is made from 100% Carignan grapes, also bottled without refinement or filtration, and aged for 15 months. It has a deep ruby color with floral notes supported by fruit acidity and a complex flavor profile.

The southern Humia region of Spain has a winemaking history exceeding 5,000 years and is known as "Humia wine is the history of Spanish wine." Humia is located between the Mediterranean coast and the rugged Mancha plateau, featuring a unique hot and dry climate.

'Parajes Del Valle' winery adheres to traditional eco-friendly organic cultivation methods. It uses the 'Terraje' system, which leases vineyards and provides a certain portion of the harvest to tenant farmers, ensuring a supply of high-quality grapes.

'Parajes Del Valle Monastrell' is a red wine made from 100% Monastrell, an indigenous grape variety of the Humia region, exhibiting a bright ruby color. It is notable for its soft tannins and lasting finish. HiteJinro is also launching 'Parajes Del Valle Bobal Ros?,' 'Parajes Del Valle Maceracion Macabeo,' and 'Parajes Del Valle Macabeo' together this time.

The six types of Spanish wine will be sold at Hyundai Department Store (Mokdong and Pangyo branches).
