The Terroir Workshop by Grandes Pagos de España explores Spanish terroir in the context of history, science, geography, language and people. This workshop will be led by Spanish Wine Scholar and Commonwealth Wine School instructor, Erika Frey. Students will experience the "grand crus" of Spain through the wines and stories of the 32 members of Grandes Pagos d' España.
The second session of the workshop will focus on the Mediterranean terroirs (Catalonia, Eastern Spain, Southern Spain, and Balearic Islands) accompanied by 17 wines ranging from Cava to Sherry with a wide representation of styles and native Spanish grape varieties.
Founded in 2000, Grandes Pagos d' España is a non-profit association of 32 prestigious wineries dedicated to single-estate production across Spain. Membership in Grandes Pagos is based on rigorous selection criteria for viticulture and winemaking excellence on the level of a pago, a delineated vineyard parcel that is the ultimate terroir designation in Spain. Grandes Pagos d' España aims to defend the unique, terroir-driven personality of single-estate wines, to uphold and promote the ethos of Spanish winemaking, and to make wines of excellence in harmony with the soil, nature and climate of each vineyard.
