All Rights Reserved. 04.24.20 Unlocking the Wines of the Spanish Serenade: The Generous Garnacha - Tier-1 Place matters: All about the Aragón Garnacha is a late ripening grape and needs a hot and dry growing season. The Aragon region in northeastern Spain offers these conditions. Aragon is in the northeastern part of Spain, bordering southwestern France. In the north, the Pyerenees create a natural border between Aragon and France. To the west, the Sistema Ibérico mountain range creates a regional border between the Calatayud municipality and the rest of western Spain. The Ebro River cuts through Aragon creating myriad tributaries that temper the extreme climates that exist between Aragon’s northern and southern regions. For these reasons, four different Denominación de Origen (Protegidas), or D.O.(P.)s exist in the Aragon region. Two out of four D.O.P.s are represented this week: D. O. Calatayud & D. O. Somotano. Chapillon Siendra is the one exception in our selection, as the grapes are sourced from the entire Aragon region — as a result, there are no specific terroir notes for this wine 2020.

It’s a region renowned for its quality Calatayud, partitioning it into three geographical subzones: inner central wines. Here, the Pyerenees provide plenty of protection and rain for valley and two eastern mountainous stretches. The elevation varies from Somotano.

There’s also high limestone content in the sandy soils creates a continental climate of hot summers and bitterly cold and which help vines retain acidity.

[email protected] They share two similar functions: both represent and hold the regulatory powers to recognize a region and create general rules of varietal labeling. But that’s where the similarity ends. AVA is approved by the Alcohol and Tobacco, Tax, and Trade Bureau, of which alcohol is one of many categories. The Spanish DO, like other European wine-producing regions, has a separate regulatory body that focuses just on vine and wine productions. D.O.P., Denominación de Origen Protegida, replaced D.O., Denominación de Origen, in 2016 and there are several wineries that still use the D.O. system but eventually all the wineries will be mandated to convert into D.O.P. label. The Pyrenees Mountains are an extensive mountain range that separates Spain from the rest of Europe. Iberica Systems is a vast chain of mountain ranges and massifs that cover the east side of the Ebro River. A massif is a densely grouped mountain chain that is separated from other groups of mountains within the same system. TopTenLiquors.com/athome 2020. All Rights Reserved..

Two territories of similar extension and with historical coincidences in their development have been selected: the Okanagan Valley, Canada, and the region of Somontano, Spain. Methodologically, an analysis of the content on Twitter has been performed, collecting 1377 tweets. The conclusion is that wineries create sentimental and experiential links with the users, avoiding commercial communications. Specifically, Okanagan wineries establish a relevant conversation network on Twitter based on the high percentage of responses, which is 31.3%, but this is not so in the case of Somontano, which is 12.8%. The tourist attractions most used to create a bond are the wine landscape and the gastronomy in the case of both territories. The tourism sustainability variable remains a minor matter in the emission of messages on Twitter. Keywords: social network analysis; sustainable tourism; web 2.0; enotourism; Twitter; Somontano wines; Okanagan Valley wines; wines of British Columbia 1.

  • Garnacha-Grenache One Grape, Many Wines
    AT THE BAR garnacha/grenache GARNACHA/ GRENACHE SPANISH GARNACHA AND FRENCH GRENACHE: SAME GRAPE, MYRIAD WINE STYLES. BY DEBORAH GROSSMAN 54 THE NATIONAL CULINARY REVIEW • MAY/JUNE 2018 Roussillon, famous for vins doux naturels The five Roussillon AOPS for vins doux naturels, fortified sweet wines, have been well-known in the wine world since the appellation was defined in 1935: Rivesaltes, Maury, Banyuls, Banyuls Grand Cru and Muscat de Rivesaltes (white only). The sweet wine AOPs range from light-colored Ambré, Tuilé, Hors d’Age to Rancio and Grenat (garnet). High above the seaside village in Collioure, Vincent Cantié launched Domaine La Tour Vielle in the 1980s. Kermit Lynch of Berkeley, California, has imported Cantié’s wines for 30 years, partly because of the winery’s mission of following what nature gives their grapes rather than following the market. His mix of red, white, rosé and vin doux naturel has garnered him a wide reputation. Dan Davis, wine director at Commander’s Palace in New Orleans, has one of the largest lists of vin doux naturels in the U.S. He surprises guests by pairing a Domaine La Tour Vieille vin doux naturel with natural fruit flavors and acidity with courses during the chef’s tasting menu. Yet he also appreciates the growing number of dry wines from Roussillon, such as La Tour Vieille La Pinède, which he pairs with rustic dishes such as quince-lacquered quail. hen guests ask for Spanish wine at One Market in San Francisco, they usually mean Rioja or La Coume du Roy in Maury is Albariño, says Tonya Pitts, wine director.

    VESTIGIOS DE CULTOS CELTAS AL ROBLE EN LAS ROMERÍAS GALLEGAS Vestigios de cultos celtas al roble en las romerías gallegas FERNANDO ALONSO ROMERO* Sumario En este artículo analizamos los orígenes de las tradiciones y prácticas gallegas de curación y fertilidad en torno al roble sagrado, y las comparamos con prácticas semejantes en los países celtas. Abstract In this article we analyze the origins of the Galician traditions and practices of healing and fertility around the sacred oak and compare them with similar practices in the Celtic countries. a conversión al cristianismo de muchas tradiciones y creencias ancestrales fue un proceso de larga duración, cuyo estudio nos permite adentrarnos en la interpretación que hacían los celtas de sus seres divinos y de la forma en que los propiciaban en L 1 los diferentes países en los que convivieron con otras culturas. No se puede poner en duda la influencia que tuvieron tanto las creencias celtas, como las romanas y las suevas, en las muestras de la religiosidad popular que se observa en la realización de determinados cultos, que bajo apariencia cristiana, todavía se siguen realizando en muchas romerías gallegas; entre ellos están los relacionados con los árboles sagrados, en cuyo culto podemos descubrir vestigios de dendolatrías ancestrales.
