May 2023 Wine Club

For the month of May, we partnered with our good friends and importers, Olé & Obrigado to bring you a trio of beautiful wines from their catalog. The Cúrate crew has worked with Olé for many years, sourcing wines for the restaurants and even worked alongside co-founder Patrick Mata for our Chef's Club pop-up in NYC. We're so excited for you to try these three wines! 

 

Oro de Castilla, from Bodegas Hermanos del Villar, is made in a classic style to showcase the bright, fresh, and mineral flavors of the Verdejo grape. Vineyards are planted at a high elevation, overlooking the town of Rueda, planted in a bed of river stones covering a limestone soil. The name in English translates to "the Gold of the Castile." Many people consider Oro de Castilla a reference point for Verdejo – it's a must try!

 

A Portela showcases the special terrior of Valdeorras in a rare way, as the region is now known primarily for white wine production. This aromatic Mencia is a perfect introduction to the hallmark red grape of Galicia, produced by a winemaker who strives to keep the past alive.

 

Lastly, a pure and elegant expression of Ribera del Duero – Vizcarra Senda de Oro Roble. This wine is made with gravity-fed winemaking and meticulous attention to detail. Senda del Oro showcases the freshness and minerality that is so often obscured with over-extraction in Ribera.  

• We are legally able to ship wine within North Carolina, and to the following states: Connecticut, Florida, Louisiana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, Virginia, Washington DC, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
