Wine class in the garden amphitheatre

We were delighted to recently welcome guest wine speaker and Master Sommelier Eleonara Infusa from organic Bodegas Menade in Rueda Spain – and with lovely May sunshine, we held the wine talk outside in the garden amphitheatre.

Eleonora who is a Master Sommelier with the Court of Master Sommeliers Spain, introduced the region of Rueda and Bodegas Menade www.menade.es We tasted a number of wines and grape varieties including Rueda Verdejo, a natural ‘Nosso Verdejo’ made with no added sulphur and a Sauvignon Blanc. Bodegas Menade is a certified organic estate in Rueda, South of Valladolid. Hand-harvesting, wines made with natural yeasts and low yields resulting in pure and expressive wines – all of which which the students very much appreciated and enjoyed in the ‘wine class in the garden’.
