Event Description
For many reasons, rare & elusive grape varieties have either been unfairly dismissed or are little known outside their home regions. And yet, they make joyfully unusual wines and it’s well worth exploring them further.
Whilst in Galicia recently, Victoria (our lead tutor) had to chance to try a red wine from the Caіño Longo grape variety crafted by a wonderful winery called Alán de Val. Discovering an untasted grape is always a joy; it’s a reminder that no matter how well versed one might be in the intricacies of producers, regions and issues, wine always has more to reveal.
In that spirit, we're showcasing the least planted, most unusual grapes from around the world for you to broaden your palate and tantalize your tastebuds! Wine, like food, is a hearty invitation to explore. It could simply be a new producer or an unknown region. Or it might be a completely unfamiliar grape, so all these elements will be new. You could fall in love!
This course is part of a 3 week wine exploration course which you can book here.
