April 2023 Wine Club

For April, the Cúrate Spanish Wine Club is all about unique and interesting grapes of Spain, and wines that are perfect for the warmer weather approaching! 

First up, we have an Albariño that spends about 20 days in contact with the skins to develop a really special texture, flavor, and color. You’ll find the acid and freshness that is typical of Albariño, with the addition of tannins and a rounded mouth. This is definitely what I would reach for on a warm Spring day.

Next is a red made with Trepat, a grape native to Catalunya that is mostly known for producing sparkling rosé cava. I love finding a red wine that pairs well with seafood, and this one is perfect for that! I'd recommend adding a little chill before you pour a glass. 

Lastly we’ve included Cubos de Paramo, made from 100% Prieto Picudo. This grape is indigenous to Castilla y León, but just about all of the vineyards producing it have been ripped up in the last century! José Antonio Garcia’s latest project is using organic farming to reclaim some viticultural heritage of this region by focusing on growing and producing Prieto Picudo. The flavor is often compared to tempranillo, but for me it brings spice, earth, and mineral notes. For April, we've included a recipe to pair with this wine – Pizza de Esparragos Blancos y Verdes (White and Green Asparagus Pizza) – so make sure you check it out!

Enjoy these wines and the sunny days ahead!
