Get ready to embark on a journey across the Iberian Peninsula with three extraordinary wines from Spain & Portugal from varietals the locals have come to know, and love!
This week, we’re bringing the vibrant traditions and unique terroirs of this historic region right to your glass - an experience you won’t want to miss!
Here is what you can expect in this week's $18 Tasting Flight:
-
Txakoli from the Basque Region of Spain: This refreshing white wine is known for its slight spritz, zesty acidity, and bright citrus notes. Txakoli is the quintessential Basque drink, often enjoyed with pintxos in the bustling bars of San Sebastián. It’s a true expression of the rugged Atlantic coast and a perfect way to start your tasting adventure.
-
Castelão from Portugal: A lesser-known gem, Castelão is one of Portugal’s most widely planted grape varieties. This red wine offers a delightful balance of ripe red fruit, subtle spice, and earthy undertones, reflecting the sun-drenched vineyards of the Setúbal Peninsula. Castelão is versatile and food-friendly, making it a must-try for those seeking something different yet approachable.
-
Priorat from Spain: Known for producing some of Spain’s most powerful and prestigious wines, Priorat is a region where old vines thrive on steep, slate-laden terraces. The result is a deeply complex red wine with intense flavors of dark fruit, licorice, and a distinctive minerality. It’s a bold finish to our flight, showcasing the depth and richness of Spanish winemaking.
These wines are not only delicious, but also offer a fascinating glimpse into the diverse viticultural landscapes of the Iberian Peninsula. Whether you're a seasoned wine enthusiast or just beginning your wine journey, this tasting flight promises to expand your palate and deepen your appreciation for these remarkable regions.
Join us this week to taste, learn, and perhaps find a new favorite wine to share with friends and family. At just $18, it’s a fantastic value of top tier fruit that you do not want to miss!
The Tasting Flight starts tonight and runs through the weekend, but don’t wait - supplies are limited!
Cheers to September,
Mark
