The Wines of Ribera del Duero
WHWC Winebar
Saturday, June 23rd, 2012
2-6 PM
With Special Guest Allison Levine of Drink Ribera
Join WHWC for and afternoon exploring the wines of Ribera del Duero. Located within the Castilla y Leon region on the great northern plateau of the Iberian peninsula, Ribera del Duero is known for powerful, earthy, full-bodied reds that boast excellent quality-to-price ratio. Largely due to the pioneering successes of Bodegas Vega Sicilia (established 1864) and Bodega Pesquera in the 1970, the Ribera del Duero DO was founded in 1982. There are now over 170 producers in the region. Though wine production derives almost exclusively from red grapes, Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) being the work horse, there is a small quantity of white, made from indigenous grape Albillo. You’ll get to taste 10 wines, including one small production white, and we’ll have guest Allison Levine on hand to answer your questions about the region.
