  • A Band of Friends
    The Culture of Food and Drink enter email Zester delivers signup for our newsletter by: Stylish cooler bags from in: PackIt for all your picnic needs. Enter here to win! 8.4.15 - It is extraordinary to consider that about 20 years ago Priorat was an unknown name in the roll call of Spanish wine regions. Today, much has changed. Priorat is now one of just two regions with a designated DOCa classification, a step up from plain DO, the other being Rioja. A band of friends René Barbier was the first of a group of winemakers to buy land outside the village of Gratallops, the estate that was to become world famous as Clos Mogador. Credit: Copyright 2015 Rosemary George It began in the late 1970s, when René Barbier bought land outside the village of Gratallops, the estate that was to become world famous as Clos Mogador. The first wine was made in 1989 and Barbier was joined by what he calls a band of copains, friends who had worked or studied together and went on to develop their own estates, such as Alvaro Palacios from Rioja. However, Priorat has always been a wine area, with vineyards run by the priory of Scala Dei, the ruins of which nestle at the foot of the dramatic cliffs of Montsant. In 1835, the Spanish government confiscated all church property, and then the region suffered badly from the phylloxera (the aphid that was imported into Europe on American vines and ultimately destroyed most of the vineyards of Europe, until the remedy of grafting European vines onto American rootstock was discovered).

  • Final Vintage Report Fo Spain 2015
    Vintage report for Spain 2015 A hot summer influences the harvest for the Spanish wine regions Across Spain the weather pattern was remarkably similar with temperatures rising at the end of June, a very hot July and then relief for the vineyards as cooler weather came in August. Harvest dates were generally a little earlier than usual and most regions were able to bring in the fruit in good weather. Favourable weather generally kept vineyard diseases at bay in 2015 however intense heat brings different challenges and how the vines coped with it depended on many factors including altitude, vine age, exposure, soil type and grape variety. There is plenty of talk of high quality from this vintage – whites with intense flavours and aromas and reds with great complexity and good ageing potential. Industry forecast for Spain’s 2015 harvest: 40-42 million hl. ************************************************************************** This report of Spain’s 2015 harvest is divided into the following regional sections: 1. Galicia: Rías Baixas, Monterrei, Ribeiro, Ribeira Sacra and Valdeorras 2. The Duero Valley and the north-west: Ribera del Duero, Toro, Rueda, Bierzo, Cigales and Tierra de Leόn 3. The north: Rioja, Navarra and the Basque Country 4. Aragón: Campo de Borja, Calatayud, Cariñena and Somontano 5. North-central regions: La Mancha and Vinos de Madrid 6. Catalonia, Majorca and the south-east 7. Jerez Wines From Spain Page 1 Galicia DO Rías Baixas The growing season was far from typical in the coastal DO of Rías Baixas: the winter period saw less rain than in a typical year, spring followed suit and mild temperatures in the first two weeks of March resulted in an early budbreak starting in Condado do Tea and O Rosal.

  • The Need for Cooperation and Collaboration in the Spanish Natural Wine Industry
    Vol. 3, No. 1 FINDING COMMON GROUND: THE NEED FOR COOPERATION AND COLLABORATION IN THE SPANISH NATURAL WINE INDUSTRY Rosana Fuentes Fernández, Campus Universitario Villanueva de Gállego, Spain INTRODUCTION atural wines represented an emerging wine segment that appeared to be growing in popularity among the Generation Y (Millennials) and Generation Z, demographic N groups that tended to be health and environmentally conscious consumers. Natural wines were loosely defined as those made from grapes grown by small, independent farms and harvested by hand from sustainable, organic, or biodynamic vineyards. These wines typically contained no additives or sulfites, and therefore were believed to be a healthier alternative to their mass-produced counterparts. For growers and producers, natural wine was a philosophy, a way of life, a route “chosen out of conviction and a desire to nurture the most fundamental force of all—Life” (Legeron, 2017: 95). Traditional wine-making techniques (pre-WWII) were a time-honored and essential part of what makes a wine “natural.” Many of these wine-making techniques were passed down from generation to generation. Additionally, the vineyards themselves tended to have very old vines. As such, the European Union (EU) appeared to be on the forefront of producing natural wines since many small, traditional wine businesses were located there. Wine consumption trends showed that consumers were increasingly drinking less wine, but at the same time were more health conscious, and this philosophy was impacting their purchasing decisions (IWSR, 2019; Sorvino, 2019). This was a significant trend for the natural wine segment. However, natural wine producers faced many challenges: limited resources, geographic isolation, lack of consumer education, and difficult growing conditions.

  • Vintage Report for Spain 2016
    Vintage report for Spain 2016 An unpredictable year featuring one of the driest and longest summers for some time The weather conditions were both unpredictable and challenging in 2016 keeping everyone on their toes throughout the Spanish wine regions. Generous spring rains and favourable weather during the early stages of vine development led to initial hopes of a generous crop for most regions with the exceptions of some Atlantic areas and the coastal fringes of Jerez. By the end of July, with a hot, dry summer well under way, the outlook was rosy but the hot summer went on and on, seemingly endlessly, causing vines to shut down. By early September there was still no sign of cooler temperatures or a drop of rain - quite unlike a typical year. Finally there was a break in the weather with modest rainfall in mid-September, which was particularly beneficial for later-ripening and red varieties. Fine weather continued throughout the autumn allowing the harvest to progress steadily and calmly across the country. Some regions fared far better than others in 2016. The outcome was more positive for Rioja, Navarra, Ribera del Duero, Toro, Priorat, Montsant, Rueda and Rías Baixas than it was for some of the Catalan DOs where the drought and other unfavourable weather had a serious impact on yields, especially where whites are the focus. Total 2016 harvest for Spain: 42.5 million hl (Source: OEMV) Wines From Spain Page 1 This report of Spain’s 2016 harvest is divided into the following regional sections: 1. Galicia: Rías Baixas, Monterrei, Ribeiro, Ribeira Sacra and Valdeorras 2.

  • Aglianico from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Aglianico From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Aglianico (pronounced [aʎˈʎaːniko], roughly "ahl-YAH-nee- koe") is a black grape grown in the Basilicata and Campania Aglianico regions of Italy. The vine originated in Greece and was Grape (Vitis) brought to the south of Italy by Greek settlers. The name may be a corruption of vitis hellenica, Latin for "Greek vine."[1] Another etymology posits a corruption of Apulianicum, the Latin name for the whole of southern Italy in the time of ancient Rome. During this period, it was the principal grape of the famous Falernian wine, the Roman equivalent of a first-growth wine today. Contents Aglianico from Taurasi prior to veraison Color of Black 1 History berry skin 2 Relationship to other grapes Also called Gnanico, Agliatica, Ellenico, 3 Wine regions Ellanico and Uva Nera 3.1 Other regions Origin Greece 4 Viticulture Notable Taurasi, Aglianico del Vulture 5 Wine styles wines 6 Synonyms Hazards Peronospera 7 References History The vine is believed to have first been cultivated in Greece by the Phoceans from an ancestral vine that ampelographers have not yet identified. From Greece it was brought to Italy by settlers to Cumae near modern-day Pozzuoli, and from there spread to various points in the regions of Campania and Basilicata. While still grown in Italy, the original Greek plantings seem to have disappeared.[2] In ancient Rome, the grape was the principal component of the world's earliest first-growth wine, Falernian.[1] Ruins from the Greek Along with a white grape known as Greco (today grown as Greco di Tufo), the grape settlement of Cumae.
