Wine Spectator November 15, 2011 Grapes of Spain® Portfolio Imported by Grapes of Spain® Selected by Aurelio Cabestrero® Named one of Robert Parker’s “Wine Personalities of the Year.” “Aurelio Cabestrero is a serious importer of high quality Spanish wine who will gain ever increas- ing recognition as his name becomes better known... there is no question he has a brilliant palate as well as a knack for finding tiny, unheralded estates that are producing high quality wine.” 7370-B Lockport Place, Lorton, VA 22079, 571.642.0343 Phone, 571.642.0505 Fax ABOUTABOUT THE THE COMPANY COMPANY Grapes of Spain, Inc. was established in November 2001, with its first container landing in the United States in Spring 2002, representing 8 producers. The company imports wines exclusively from Spain and currently represents 36 producers with a portfolio of 90+ wines from all corners of Spain. All of the wines are new to the U.S. market and are from family winegrowers who focus on limited high- quality production. The Company’s temperature-controlled warehouse is located in Lorton, Virginia and all the wines are shipped from Spain to the warehouse in refrigerated containers. Our wines are currently represented in twenty-five states and the District of Columbia. AURELIO’S PHILOSOPHY My goal is to find gems regardless of the wine-producing area of origin, as there are equally exciting wines from Bierzo, Pla de Bages and Almansa as from Rioja, Ribera del Duero or Toro. It’s not as if a wine’s origin is unimportant however I’m not selling a D.O., I’m selling an individual wine. Another key to the style of wines in my portfolio is that many of the winemakers are young and talented; representing the new face of Spanish winemaking. They bring a new point of view to wine quality as many have traveled internationally and have had a broad exposure to the world of wine. Furthermore, many of these winemakers are inheriting old vineyards, a further key to quality. I hand select each wine and my wines reflect the true personality, quality and character of each vineyard, grape and people who make it. The wines are modern but not international with a balance between fruit and oak, where oak frames fruit flavor instead of overwhelming it. Concentration of fruit character comes from hard work in and an intimate understanding of the vineyard not simply extraction during fermentation. Finesse, not exclusive of concentration of fruit, is paramount to the style of wines I seek to represent. I always look for wines that provide the best value for the money whether at $10 per bottle or $100. Finally I believe the wines in my portfolio represent an authentic expression of Spanish wine. ABOUTAURELIO AURELIO Aurelio Cabestrero, owner, is originally from Madrid, Spain. He worked at Madrid’s Café de Oriente Restaurant for three years before coming to the US to work as Sommelier for Taberna del Alabardero in Washington DC. He worked at Taberna del Alabardero for three years and also worked as Sommelier at Marcel’s in Washington DC before pursuing his pas- sion to import wines from his country, Spain. Aurelio has also won the Ruinart 1993 prize as the Best Sommelier in Spain, Best young Sommelier in 1994 by Wine and Gastronomic Magazine and came in second place at the National Sopexa Competition of French Wines and Spirits 1994. He is also founding mem- ber of Madrid Association of Sommeliers. In December 2005, he was named to Robert Parker’s “Wine Personalities of the Year” list. “Aurelio Cabestrero is a serious importer of high quality Spanish wine who will gain ever increasing recognition as his name becomes better known. I first met him when he was a sommelier at Washington, DC’s finest Spanish restaurant, and there is no question he has a brilliant palate as well as a knack for finding tiny, unheralded estates that are producing high quality wine.” Selected by Aurelio Cabestrero® Imported by Grapes of Spain 571.642.0343 Phone, 571.642.0505 Fax, www.grapesofspain.com © 2014 Table of Contents D.O.

MONTSANT INFORMATION DOSSIER INTRODUCTION The D.O. Montsant (Designation of Origin or wine appellation), despite being a recently created wine appellation, has years of wine-making history to its name. Wine experts and press consider it to be an up and coming region and prestigious magazines such as “The Wine Spectator” have declared it to be “a great discovery”. The quality of Montsant wines is key to their success, as too is their great value for money. The prestigious Spanish wine guide, “Guia Peñin” agrees that “the quality of Montsant wines and their great prices make this region an excellent alternative.” In the United States, “Wine & Spirits” magazine have stated that “Montsant should be watched with interest”. Montsant wines appear in some of the most prestigious wine rankings in the World and they always tend to be the best priced amongst their rivals at the top of the list. The professionals and wineries behind the DO Montsant label are very enthusiastic. Many wineries are co-operatives with important social bases and the winemakers who make Montsant wines are often under 40 years old. We at the DO Montsant believe that youth, coupled with a solid wine-making tradition is synonymous of future, new ideas and risk-taking. To conclude, this is the DO Montsant today: a young wine appellation with a promising future ahead of it. 1 THE REGULATORY COUNCIL The wines of the DO Montsant are governed by the Regulatory council or body.
