Chapter n.2: Spain: A land of refined wines

Service Description

FORGET EVERYTHING YOU THINK YOU KNOW Sun, beaches, holidays, boozy wines. That's what everyone thinks of Spanish wine. The cliché persists. And it's completely wrong. Spain has some of Europe's highest-altitude vineyards. Vines battered by Atlantic winds. Parcels clinging to cliffs overlooking the Mediterranean. Volcanic islands where vines grow in black lava. This masterclass deconstructs the myth. Eight wines that prove Spain today produces some of the world's most refined and captivating wines. THE SPANISH REVOLUTION How can anyone still believe Spanish viticulture is limited to old-school Rioja aged in toasted American oak? That era is over. Galicia produces Atlantic whites of insane mineral purity. Mencía from Bierzo rivals great Syrah and Pinot Noir. Ribera del Duero works century-old vines. Priorat clings its ancient vines to cliffsides. Andalusia is experiencing an incredible boom where sweet wines are no longer the norm. The Spain nobody shows you. The one of radical winemakers, extreme terroirs, unexpected freshness. YOUR JOURNEY Reinvented Catalan bubbles. Vibrant Atlantic whites. Elegant reds on schist. Modern single-vineyard Rioja.
