🍷 One grape. Two legends. 🇪🇸
For our February TVC event, we’re putting Tempranillo in the spotlight -tasting it side by side from two of Spain’s flagship regions: Rioja vs. Ribera del Duero.
✨ What’s in the glass?
Rioja → elegance, freshness, red fruit, savoury complexity, and classic oak ageing.
🔥 Ribera del Duero → depth, darker fruit, structure, power, and a bold “rock & roll” edge.
Same grape. Totally different stories.
This curated line-up explores how place, climate, tradition, and blending shape Spain’s signature red from Rioja’s silky, acid-driven refinement to Ribera’s intense, muscular concentration.
🍇 Expect insights into:
• Terroir & climate contrasts
• Blending vs. single-varietal Tempranillo
• American vs. French oak
• Why these wines age so beautifully
🥖 Your ticket includes:
Reception wine, bread, appetizers, and our featured wines.
