Harpers is excited to be hosting an in-depth look at the future of Spanish viticulture this week, organised in collaboration with Wines from Spain.
Due to take place on 9 March at 2pm, a diverse panel will examine the innovations and trends shaping the industry today, with a particular focus on the young blood winemakers of Spain, and the direction they are pushing the industry in.
Key members of the Spanish wine scene will be joined by Harpers' editor Andrew Catchpole, in addition to leading importers and buyers.
The panellists are:
Richard C.E. Grant, Araex UK
Victor Ordóñez, J&O Boutique Wines
Vicky Gonzalez-Gordon, Gonzalez Byass
Jorge Méndez, Bodegas Viñatigo
Manuel Cantalapiedra,Cantalapiedra Viticultores
Paul Shinnie, Alliance Wine
During the webinar, Andrew Catchpole will introduce the session and panel, then invite each panellist to present on their proposed topic for five minutes each, centred on aspects of ‘innovation’ and ‘evolution’.
This will then be followed by a 25-30 minute panel-wide discussion.
Key themes include: How much more potential is there for Spain to exploit its old vine heritage?; How receptive is the international market to such wines?; How far has Spain mined its ‘forgotten’ varieties?
