Description

Explore the newest trends in Spanish wine with certified wine educator Ginny McClure! Spanish wine often conjures images of wines born on sunbaked hillsides - rich, dense, powerful. Names like Rioja, Ribeira del Duero, and Priorat drip with prestige but also limit our imaginations. Much like California has overcome its image as a producer of only heavy, powerful wine, Spain has cast off the mantle of a singular focus on power and prestige. This movement, often called New Spain, has a different focus. Its producers seek out new terroirs, find forgotten native grapes, and aim to produce wines of all styles, but they strive for balance and drinkability more than swagger. In this class, certified wine educator Ginny McClure will guide you through several fine examples of the New Spain ethos. Expect wines in a range of styles but tied together by their winemaker's commitment to express the land and the grapes truthfully and beautifully. Prepare to taste Spain with a whole new outlook!
