New Wave Spain Wine Tasting

Marylebone Store, Thursday 17th October @ 7:00pm - £40
Spanish wine has undergone a quiet revolution in recent years and this exciting tasting will focus on the superstar winemakers who have led the way in reasserting Spain’s position as one of the hottest tickets in the fine wine world.
Join us on a journey through the new Spain, where an ambitious generation of winemakers is pushing the boundaries of quality in their respective regions and redefining our idea of what Spanish wine can be.
We’ll taste hidden gems from some of Spain’s oft-overlooked regions, where there is a remarkable variety of styles and depth of winemaking talent.
The tasting will conclude with flagship wines from the Remellurí estate in Rioja and Dominio del Águila of Ribera del Duero. Even in Spanish wine’s traditional household-name regions, there are winemakers who refuse to rest on their laurels, instead striving for excellence and defying expectations.
A tasting selection of six wines will be presented with complimentary cheese and charcuterie sharing boards served alongside. Tickets can be purchased online or in-store.
The event will be hosted by Jack Young from Indigo Wine.

Marylebone Store, Thursday 26th September @ 7 pm - £60
Join us for an evening exploring the wines of two celebrated Burgundy producers, with whites from Domaine Jean-Paul et Benoît Droin, based in Chablis, and reds from Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet, based in the Northern Côte-de-Nuits village of Fixin.
Focussing on two of the region’s star winemakers, Amélie Berthaut-Gerbet and Benoît Droin, we will explore what sets their wines apart and how they and others in the region have continued to innovate and push the boundaries of what Burgundy wine can achieve.
Domaine Jean-Paul et Benoît Droin boasts 400 years of winemaking history in the village of Chablis, but has risen to new heights of excellence under the stewardship of 14th-generation Benoît Droin to become one of the foremost domaines in the region, famed for consistently producing quality at every level of the appellation system.
Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet is another historic estate that has risen to global fame in recent years. Working in one of the Côte d’Or’s lesser-known villages, Amélie Berthaut-Gerbet makes stylish and captivating reds that showcase Fixin’s potential and are now among Burgundy’s most coveted wines.
This tasting will be a rare opportunity to enjoy and compare wines from different levels of the Burgundy appellation system side-by-side, from Regional level wines all the way up to Grand Cru. We will discuss the many factors that make Burgundy and its wines so renowned.
A tasting selection of six wines will be presented with complimentary cheese and charcuterie sharing boards served alongside. Tickets can be purchased online or in-store.
