Wine drinkers have never had it better. The traditional wines from France, Italy and Spain are increasingly being challenged by high quality newcomers from all corners of the world. In the UK, much of the focus in recent years has been on the wines from the Southern Hemisphere, so developments in less famous European countries have, perhaps, gone unnoticed. And this is precisely what Curious Curation is here to address.
Our selections feature wines from countries as diverse as Armenia and Portugal, Croatia and Greece, Georgia and Turkey. And, the irony is, that most of these countries have historic winemaking traditions far older than France or Italy! They really have learned a thing or two along the way – producing wines that hold their own on the international stage whilst retaining flavours and characteristics all of their own. Some of the grape varieties you will have heard of……..most, you possibly won’t.
But, isn’t that part of the joy of wine? Allowing it to be a window into exotic flavours and cultures of countries that we might not have had a chance to visit for ourselves? Do join us on this journey of discovery and please share your thoughts once you’ve tasted the wines, so we know which countries and styles to delve into deeper in future.
Cheers!
