Vuelta a España MasterClass: Icons & Rising Stars
Join us for a guided exploration of Spain’s remarkable wine diversity, led by Rick and Nick of Areni Selections. Spanning five regions, six wineries, and twelve wines, this masterclass journeys from historic estates steeped in tradition to a new generation of boundary-pushing producers redefining Spanish wine.
We’ll begin with historic names like Albet i Noya, Finca Torremilanos, and Gómez Cruzado, whose wines reflect generations of winemaking heritage and a deep connection to place, before venturing into the exciting new wave emerging from Andalucía and the Sierra de Gredos. Along the way, we’ll explore the evolving character of Spanish viticulture through distinctive expressions of indigenous varieties, compelling terroirs, and producers challenging convention while remaining rooted in authenticity.
The grand finale features two extraordinary wines from Comando G, the celebrated Sierra de Gredos project renowned for its nuanced, terroir-driven Garnacha: Navatalgordo and Las Umbrías. These distinctive bottlings offer a captivating look at the elegance, precision, and site-specific character that have made Comando G one of Spain’s most exciting contemporary producers. From historic benchmarks to the next generation of Spanish wine, this is an opportunity to discover a country whose most compelling bottles are as diverse as its landscapes—and whose wine story is still being written.
