Tempranillo,
north to south

A six-wine vertical with Master Sommelier Carlos Mendoza, fourteen years in Rioja and now in Madrid. We taste the same grape under three climates and ask whether terroir is real or rhetorical.

The evening, hour by hour.

20:00
Welcome flight · Rueda Verdejo
A palate cleanser. White, before we go red. Brief introduction to the evening's structure.
20:25
Rioja · two crianzas, blind
Same grape. Same DOCa. One mountain side, one valley floor. Guess which is which before Carlos reveals.
21:00
Ribera del Duero · the elder brother
Tinta del País at 800m altitude. We compare structure, tannin, and what changes when the river runs differently.
21:35
Toro · the loud cousin
Lower altitude, hotter days. Same DNA, different volume. Often the divisive bottle of the night.
22:10
The verdict · open Q&A
Where does style end and terroir begin? Bring your scorecards. Carlos doesn't dodge.
22:45
Goodbye glass · vintage port
Optional. Stays open until last guest leaves.
