Today, we are embarking on a journey to Catalonia, Spain, guided by none other than Rob Buckhaven. You might recognize Rob as the Drinks Columnist for The Metro and author of 'The Alcorithm.' But in this episode, we're delving into his past as a brand ambassador for the renowned winery Torres.
Torres boasts a strong presence in Catalonia, particularly in regions like Conca de Barbera, Costes del Segre, Cava, and Priorat. Join us as we explore these wine regions, discussing new regulations and labeling terms within Cava and Priorat, and Torres' focus on reviving pre-phylloxera Catalonian varieties.
