Spain - The Wine in Iberia

The Wine in Iberia candidacy integrates a group of cultural assets that demonstrate and base the exchange of ideas between two different communities whose result is the emergence of the Iberian Culture, with Wine as one of its driving threads. The Phoenician maritime commercial networks in which the wine participates, the existence of very old settlements where the Phoenician and indigenous population coexist in which wine is already produced on a commercial scale and, finally, the acquisition, development and innovation by the Iberian populations of the techniques of wine production, which in turn generates a model of occupation, exploitation and opening of distribution channels, are the essential elements of the values ​​that this candidacy supports. All this process is embodied in the following assets:

The wrecks I and II of Mazarrón (Murcia) and the wreck 1 of Bajo de la Campana in San Javier (Murcia), which prove the existence of commercial networks of how the wine consumption was introduced in the Iberian Peninsula

The site of Castillo de Doña Blanca (Puerto de Santa María, Cádiz), a fundamental example of the coexistence of indigenous populations of Iberia and others from Phoenician where the transfer of customs and techniques related to wine

The Stone wine presses around the Cabriel River (Requena, Valencia), as a proof of the relevant role that wine acquires in the Iberian Culture thanks to the aforementioned influences and the development of a trade, techniques and means of production that they generate a particular mode of occupation and organization of the territory.
