    2026-02-03 18:00 2026-02-03 19:00 Europe/Madrid A fresh perspective on legacy: how Terra Alta is renewing its viticultural tradition Five wineries from the Terra Alta DO share a common purpose: to position white Garnacha on the world stage, but also—and especially—to understand it in depth in order to craft wines of great expression. For more than three years they have worked together to learn how honest viticulture and soils (like the honeycomb) shape its character. This tasting-dialogue is a unique opportunity to discover long-aged wines—some no longer on the market—and to appreciate the authenticity, longevity, and value of a historic grape variety rooted in a landscape shaped by generations of winegrowers.
