Event Description

Matt, our wine buyer, will take you on voyage of discovery around some well-known and not so well-known Spanish regions to find red wines from classic Spanish varieties that pair well with the flavours of the barbecue.

Tempranillo is always a crowd pleaser so we have some crackers included in the line-up, while Mencia is a must-try for the Pinot Noir lover. The Priorat is predominantly Garnacha-based, a nice contrast to the juicier Monastrell.

One of the reasons why Spanish reds work so well with barbecue food is the climate – lots of sunshine to ripen the grapes, resulting in wines with more body and softer tannins.

Wines on Tasting (6):

  • El Castro de Valtuille, Mencia Joven, Bierzo DO, 2020
  • Finca Casa Balaguer, Tragolargo Monastrell, Alicante DO, 2020
  • Gran Cerdo, Tempranillo Fuenmayor, Rioja DOCa, 2021
  • Quinta Milu, Ribera del Duero DOCa, 2020
  • Telmo Rodriguez, “Dehesa Gago” G, Toro DO, 2016
  • Mas Alta, ‘Els Pics’, Priorat DO, 2019

A small selection of delicious cheese and charcuterie (with crackers)* is served at this tasting.

*We try to accommodate all dietary requirements, providing we are notified at least 48hrs in advance.
