Posted by: pinord
31 Catalan wineries showcased their wines in New York over the 8th and 9th November. The event, consisting in various workshops was organised by The Catalan Wine and Vine Association and was aimed at promoting Catalan wines. Sommelier, Josep Roca co-owner of El Celler de Can Roca Restaurant hosted a Master Class during which he emphasised the quality of Catalan wines and cavas (sparkling wines) made from varieties such as Xarelo, Macabeo or Chardonnay in terms of whites and Red Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon in terms of reds.

The Aroma Game – playing with Diorama!
Posted by: pinord
Our greatest novelty this year has been the launch of our new collection of mono-varietal wines: DIORAMA. Six wines aim to reveal their secrets to consumers by introducing them to the typical aromas and flavours of each grape variety: Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet rosé, white Chardonnay, White Grenache and Red Grenache.
Diorama comes on its own or in a special boxed set, which contains small aroma vials to help consumers get to know the classic aromas of each variety and be able to tell the difference between them. It includes a wine-tasting guide which offers advice for those wishing to learn more about this fascinating world of aromas in the Aroma Game.
It truly is a blind tasting! By using only our nose, we will decide which aromas are in each small numbered bottle. Ah! Our wine labels are also very different: bright colours and geometrical shapes make up the outline of bunches of grapes. Each variety has its own colour scheme.
