Spain wine region statistics – Proportion of red and white wine produced under DOP appellation per Autonomous Community Spain’s IGP wines Most of the white wines of Andalucía are in fact the region’s famed sherry, while the majority of the whites from Catalonia are the region’s famed Cava. For the white wines, Andalucía dominates followed by Galicia, and Catalonia. Overall, 59% of Spanish DOP wine is red, with the Basque Country, Navarra, La Rioja, Aragón, and Murcia all producing at least 92% red DOP wines. The third map (below) shows the proportion of red and white wine produced under the DOP appellation in the different Autonomous Communities. Spain wine region statistics – Wine production of DOP wine by hl (hectolitre) for the Autonomous Communities Together these three Autonomous Communities produced 54% of Spain’s DOP wine. In third place comes Castilla – La Mancha producing over 3 million hectolitres. The Autonomous Communities of La Rioja and Catalonia lead the way in DOP wine production, producing over 4.5 million hectolitres each. These quality wines account for 60% of the wine produced in Spain. The second map (below) shows the wines produced under the DOP appellation, in other words the higher quality wines.

The regions that produce the highest proportion of DOP wine are La Rioja, Navarra, and the Canary Islands at over 93% or more each, while Cantabria and Extremadura produce the least proportion of DOP wine at 8% or less each. The first map (below) shows the proportion of Spanish wine produced under the DOP, IGP, or non-DOP/IGP appellations per Autonomous Community. The maps Spain’s varying wine appellations The following table and maps give an overview of the wines produced per the 17 Spanish Autonomous Communities based on the 2017/2108 reported wine stocks.

In our guide to the wine regions of Spain, the Spanish wine regions are divided into the twelve traditional regions, and the first table shows the how much quality wine is produced for each region, in other words wines that can be sold under the DOP wine appellation.
