THURSDAYS 18th & 25th JUNE

There is something so exciting about discovering new grape varieties. With an estimated 1500 wine grapes in commercial production somewhere in the world, it’s staggering to think that over half of the world’s wine is made from just 33 of them.

Undiscovered countries and regions are the source of so much interest too: taken together, Italy, France and Spain make 50% of all bottled wine. Indeed, 88% of the entire world of wine is bottled by just 11 countries.

This tasting will buck this homogenous trend, delving into less well-known grapes and regions, but will be doing so with six superb wines with heritage and the highest credentials.

What We’ll Taste Week One
Our white selection begins with one of Sicily’s less common varieties: Grillo. Once used to make the island’s fortified wine, Marsala, here in the north of Sicily it is vinified as a dazzling and refreshing, organic white. From one Mediterranean island to another: Majorca. Bla Bla Bla isn’t all talk: it’s a fascinating blend of Premsal and Giró Ros. Both are indigenous to Majorca, the pink-skinned Giró Ros having only just being saved from extinction. Concluding our white wines is a Ribolla from one of the acknowledged star winemakers of Slovenia: Marjan Simcic. From 30-year-old vines facing the Collio region of Italy, it’s a fantastic example of one of the country’s most important grapes.

What We’ll Taste Week Two
First red is a Rioja: not so unusual you may think? Well this one is made from Maturana Tinta, which makes up less than 0.5% of Rioja’s vines. Our island hopping continues with a trip to Paros in the Cyclades. The Paros Farming Community is preserving island traditions whilst thoroughly modern in its approach, like our wine made from the indigenous Mandilaria. A crisp, redcurrant and cranberry red with surprising refreshment value. Our final contender is yet another island wine, from Sardinia. The main variety here is Carignano, otherwise known as Carignan. Not the most obscure of grapes I admit, but this is pretty special wine – and we don’t drink Sardinian wines every day.
