TRADE TASTINGS
First, the previously unseen tasting ‘Vins de Finca Qualificada. The strength of the terroir’, featuring ten Vins de Finca Qualificada, specifically from the wineries Clos Mogador, Vall Llach, Mas d’en Gil, Edetària, Vinyes Domènech, Abadal, Oller del Mas, Jean Leon, Olivardots and Eudald Massana. The tasting will be led by sommelier Ferran Centelles, with a representative from each winery taking part. It will be held in the Sala Príncep on Tuesday 7 February at 4:30 p.m.
The second tasting will take place on Wednesday 8 February at 10:30 a.m. in the Tasting Area, under the title ‘The relationship between terroir vegetation and wine aromas. Biodiversity Project’. This activity will present the results of a project developed by INCAVI explaining how the botanical landscape surrounding the vineyards influences the aromas of the wines made there. Wines from the wineries taking part in the project will be tasted and compared with the scent of their landscape: Vinyes Domènech, Castell de Perelada, La Fou, La Gravera, Huguet de Can Feixes.
WINE TOURISM
Wine tourism and Catalonia’s food and wine strength will also feature through the Wine Routes of Catalonia organised by the Catalan Tourist Board at the BWW HUB Speaker Corner, with an overview of the different wine routes that delve into the essence of the Catalan designations of origin and their wines and wineries.
COMPLEMENTARY ACTIVITIES
The Palau de Pedralbes will once again host the tasting by the Dones del Vi collective, attended by ministers Teresa Jordà and Tània Verge. Visitors will be able to taste wines made by 35 women who head up wineries, 20 of them from Catalonia.
