About this Event
What’s the difference between Natural and Organic wine?
Why many Natural Wines have strange and sometimes unpleasant aromas?
How to differentiate wine reduction from wine defect?
Why does the production of sulphite-free wines have great risk?
Defects in wines that are often sold to us as "natural aroms"
During this event you’ll taste together with a qualified WSET3 presenter range of Natural wines from South Tenerife (one of its highest villages Vilaflor circa 1200m above the sea level).
Bodega Vento and its founder and oenologist Damian Díaz producing wines from organically cultivated vineyards. They use ambient yeast, spontaneous fermentation and only small amount of sulphites in reds and no added sulphites in whites and orange.
When we ran similar tasting in Spain early in 2024 we called it "Un Vino Natural que No Huele Mal" (“A Natural Wine that Doesn't Smell Bad") as indeed, his wines present clear aromas with no defects of any king that often sold to the consumer as so called "natural aromas". So let break that myth together that natural wines always smell weird. Shall we?
In the heart of Dublin, next door to Saint Patrick Cathedral, a small and cozy café will reveal Tenerife's hidden gems.
Tenerife hosts the highest mountain of Spain (volcan Teide) that influences significantly the weather between north and the south of the island
