Zoom Wine Tasting - Descalzos Viejos

Live From Ronda, Spain Feb 6 2:30pm

We have been invited to participate in a Wine Tasting from Descalzos Vineyards located in Malaga, Spain. At this time, we only have 6 zoom feeds available, so reservations are on a first come, first served basis.

 

The owners/wine makers are presenting their wines live on Saturday, February 6 from 2:30-3:30pm.

 

You may login beginning at 2 pm.

 

You will meet Francisco "Paco" Retamero and Flavio Salesi of Descalzos Viejos, (translates to The Old Barefoot men). The name was chosen as the winery used to be a monastery where the monks walked around barefoot dating back to the 1500s. 

 

The winery is located in Ronda, a city on a high plateau, surrounded by a gorge, entering the city by bridge. The monastery was purchased by the Retamero and Salesi families in 1998 as a restoration and wine development project. The winery is a true boutique winery, with a very limited production.

 

I was fortunate enough to visit the winery and taste the wines in Summer of 2019. I have attached a photo of us with the family.  

 

The wines presented are three powerful reds, You can look up the winery http://www.descalzosviejos.com. The text is in Spanish, the photos are stunning.
