Wine Tasting: A fun activity in our calendar of events for May 2016

A highlight of our events calendar, this May we will have 2 wine tasting sessions with Alfredo, our wine connoisseur. This event is a great way to get people chatting and exchanging opinions, as well as introducing people from around the world. This month we will enjoy 2 wine tasting sessions, on the 10th and 17th of May.

What do we learn during a wine tasting session?

Alfredo starts off with an explanation, in English and Spanish, on the wine production process, different grape varieties and popular brands of Spanish wine. From the famous La Rioja region to Jerez de la Frontera, we learn about the various areas and types of land, and the wine that they typically produce.

After gaining an insight into the wealth of the Spanish wine making tradition, Alfredo teaches us the 3 fundamental aspects of wine-tasting; paying attention to the appearance, aroma and finally; the flavour. These sessions provide a great opportunity to learn new words vis-á-vis wine and its production.

Although this month we are tasting traditional red and white wines, in previous months we have enjoyed fortified wines, such as sherry and port, as well as cavas and vintage red wines.

Spain and its wines

Spain is famous for its wine production, in fact, it’s the 3rd largest producer of wine in the world. La Rioja, Jerez de la Frontera, RíasBaixas in Galicia and Priorat in Catalonia are all well-known for producing an abundance of spectacular wines.
