A Fresh New Scene in Navarra [October 30]
Saturday, October 24, 6:30-8pm ET
Young winemakers are marrying local pride with international experience to make world-class wines. With its northerly spot (between Rioja and France) and cool Atlantic breezes, Navarra is turning out lively wines brimming with freshness and acidity. Garnacha is enjoying a renaissance, with a wide variety of style and character. Ranging from richly-hued rosés to almost black old-vines specimens, the wines offer freshness and complexity, whether made with just garnacha, or blended with other grapes such as tempranillo, cabernet sauvignon, or syrah. Join Deborah Hansen as she samples six wines, and experience the broadness of Navarra’s offerings!
Deborah Hansen, a Spanish-trained sommeliere, was recently on a wine-focused trip in Navarra and returned thoroughly impressed. Come enjoy the fruits of her wine travels!
