We’re delighted to welcome Carlos Fernandez Gomez to The Wine Whisperer on Monday, March 18 to showcase his wines in a dinner.
The Fernandez Gomez family has a history in viticulture that stretches back for more than a century, but it was the vision of the latest generation that first brought their production to the commercial market through the emergence of Bodegas Tierra. With nearly 80 acres of prime vineyard holdings in Rioja Alavesa, some containing original hundred-year-old plantings, it’s not surprising Tierra quickly earned an impressive reputation as an estate grower and producer. Efforts taken by Tierra focus on maintaining grape integrity from vineyard to bottle so true character is maintained; picking is always done by hand, with great care and winemaking never intrusive. Within the stylistic spectrum of Rioja, expect robust, balanced wines that integrate generous barrel maturity with minimal oxidative characteristics. In addition to his many honors, Carlos was awarded Grower of the Year in Rioja in 2021 by Tim Atkin.
More information will be released soon! But plan for some Whisperer magic alongside these incredible Riojas. Limited seats available. $125 per person. Purchase tickets online or in store.
