    This is the story of a vineyard estate, in Salnés Valley, in Galicia: Ouso da Torre, with its century-old vineyards, which is a part of the Cambados history, Albariño’s capital. This vineyard was a maincharacter and witness of the Rías Baixas Origin Appellation borning. As always, in 2023 its grapes were harvested by hand, but this time, in addition, we use digital traceability, strain by strain, satellite control during transport and digital control on the elaboration process in the winery. As an exclusive preview, we can taste a sample of the future 2000 numbered bottles of this albariño Terra de Asorei 2023 Century-old vines, which will be ready by October 2025. An albariño with soul.

    White wine is consumed more and is more popular than in a few years. It has a much greater role in the market. Red wines are consumed less and those that are successful are lighter, with less alcohol content and less intensity. What has caused this change in trend? Does this represent a certain revolution in white wine or are we simply in a recurring cyclical moment? Is it a fashion or does it respond to a deeper trend?

    Consumers are increasingly drinking wine by the glass rather than whole bottles. This is due to health and economic factors, but also to the search for quality over quantity. How can a professional deal with this, in order to achieve the client's objective by offering the highest quality of service and maximising costs?

    We explore a growing trend: the use of cork stoppers in sparkling wine bottling.

    A recent research project driven by the wineries Gramona and Recaredo, along with cork manufacturers Francisco Oller and TESA, and supported by the Catalan Cork Institute Foundation, the Catalan Institute of Vine and Wine, and the Institute of Agrifood Research and Technology, has demonstrated that sparkling wines undergoing secondary fermentation with cork achieve a distinctive physical and sensory profile and are also more highly valued by consumers.

    We will see the first results of the project by tasting 4 sparkling wines.

    CEOs and executives of large wineries face an increasingly challenging reality: a structural decline in demand, climate change, cost pressures, and tougher competition.

    In this uncertain context, investing in data and analytics has become an imperative for industry leaders to optimize their business strategies and ensure the long-term survival of their companies.

    Industries such as aviation, hospitality, and retail joined the data revolution more than 50 years ago.

    Today, this transformation has finally reached the wine industry, bringing unprecedented opportunities and a renewed wave of optimism.

    Only 15 years ago, social media had not become popular and wine recommendations were made through the specialized press, professional guides and blind tasting contests. They were few and had an extreme influence. A good score could be decisive for a winery and was very important for positioning itself in the market. Now there are more specialized media, more contests and more rankings that coexist with prescribers with their own channels on social networks. What effect does the atomization of the prescription have on the consumer? And on the wineries? Is it still decisive to appear in guides, win contests, etc?

    04-02-2025 12:00 04-02-2025 13:00 Europe/Madrid Old vines: the paradigm between the romantic and the rational

    The wine industry holds the belief that old vines produce higher quality wines, with low yields but capable of producing grapes full of character and expression of the terroir. However, we wonder if this is merely a perception based on the romanticism of tradition. During the presentation, a blind tasting will take place to explore this question. Through sensory analysis, various factors will be evaluated: Are these wines truly of greater aromatic complexity, structure, or depth than those from younger vines? Or, on the contrary, could the differences be subtle, even imperceptible? What is truth, and what is myth?

Over the last 12 years, Cajamar has published four monographic books on the wine sector, all of which have won awards in their respective categories from the International Wine Organisation (OIV). This structural, in-depth knowledge is complemented by the current information on the wine market that Cajamar produces on Plataforma Tierra. In this activity we will summarise the content of all this work, considering the present and future of the sector.

    Last year, the ‘Magnificent 7’ was too small for us to review the excellence of the wines from the Spanish designations of origin that are the protagonists of this great tasting in the Príncipe room of the Fira de Barcelona exhibition centre in Montjuic. The 7 became 10 with the DO Ribera del Duero. In this fifth edition of the Barcelona Wine Week, 10 wonderful wines have been selected, most of them white, but also a red and even a sparkling wine, from a DO Rías Baixas that continues to grow with wines that constantly gain more prestige driven by the pull that Spanish white wine is experiencing. The journalist and sommelier Ramon Francàs has selected from among fifty wines with an Atlantic soul the ten Magnificents that will star in this unrepeatable journey. The evolution of Rías Baixas wines has been extraordinary since their take-off on the market, which began in the 1980s, and continues unstoppable today.

    The climate crisis presents significant challenges for producers and winemakers. In this context, water stands out as perhaps the most crucial resource—not only because plant survival depends on it but also because it's essential throughout the wine production process. This panel will explore water usage and management from a global perspective, highlight the most effective tools, and discuss the various scenarios the industry will need to navigate in the near future.

Each of them, with a career marked by passion and respect for winemaking tradition, will, through a masterful tasting, show us how old vines not only define the character of their wines but also represent a cultural and oenological legacy they carefully preserve. Their approach reflects the balance between history and innovation in winemaking

Something that is considered innovative today but that has been done in the Arlanza valley for a lifetime. very small wineyards of old vines with more than 5 different varieties that are vinified by pago to obtain unique wines. Some varieties come from other wine-growing areas and that after 100 years of their plantation have adapted to a climate, soil, altitude and biodiversity that make up unique wines with extra-limited editions.

    04-02-2025 18:00 04-02-2025 19:00 Europe/Madrid Vinos de pasto: Back to the past with a very present future

    We will understand what a ''vino de pasto'' is, the return to the past on which the traditional fortified Andalusia that we know today was founded.

    What was there and what was actually drunk 3 centuries ago?

    Why is it now coming back as a trend and what does it mean for both the present and future consumption and understanding of it for new generations?

    What varieties are made and how does the particular Jerez terroir intervene in the wide diversity of these wines?

    Is it the new Jerez 2.0?

    All these questions will be addressed through a presentation on the evolution and history of these wines and through an interesting tasting of styles and projects that are leading the way today.

    Tasting of fortified and sweet wines from appellations present at Vinoble 2026.Fortified, sweet and liqueur wines are typologies and appellations that express like very few others the identity of the wine-growing territories: both their natural conditions and their history, traditions and particular ways of making wine. Wines of noble origins that have withstood globalisation, entrenched in the values of their respective distinct identities. For this reason, they are wines that require an unhurried and unsophisticated approach. Every two years, these wines take centre stage at Vinoble, a unique show in a unique city: Jerez.

    Launching a wine-making project is not easy, it has a very high economic cost and high risks. To minimize these risks, new models are emerging to create new wineries. There are collective projects that are inspired by old agricultural cooperatives and also winery nurseries, public or private, that offer entrepreneurs the possibility of starting with more controlled risks.
