On one of my visits to Catavino, I noticed Vinoble 2010 taking place in Jerez de la Frontera.
Not just any event as it focuses on one small section of the wine world, Vins Nobles, in plain English Dessert and Sweet Wines…
If you tasted Late Harvest Riesling or Vino Santo for example, you know what I am talking about.
In Alsace, they might be called Sélection de Grains Nobles while in Jura it will be Vin de Paille (Straw Wine).
In some cases grapes will be left to dry in order to get more concentrated flavors.
Amongst the wines presented at Vinoble 2010 you will find Tokaj from Hungary, Fondillons and Moscatels from Alicante, Sherries, Vins Doux Naturel from Roussillon and Sweet Wines from the Canary Islands, Ports, Ice Wines and more…
Note the historic settings.
Vinoble 2010 is opened to trade and media only.
