Taste With Tom - Go Go Brazil

There's huge excitement around South America's third-largest wine producer - taste sparkling, white and red with a £23 discount on the tasting selection!
Thursdays 11 & 18 February

Naming South America’s most prominent wine producing countries is easy; by now even those with only a modest interest in wine will have tasted a Chilean Sauvignon Blanc or Argentine Malbec. But still relatively under the radar is Brazil. In fact, Brazil holds third spot in South American wine production, with a fine wine industry and appreciative local fan base. That’s perhaps not so surprising given that Brazil has the world’s fifth largest population, dwarfing Argentina and Chile.

It may come as a surprise that Brazil has the conditions for quality wine production, with our image of the Amazon rain forest, or the sandy beaches of Rio. But travel to the deep south of this huge country and the latitude, altitude and climate are ideal for wine production. Now’s your chance to get to know these fascinating wines for yourself (with a massive discount) courtesy of specialist importer of Brazilian wines, Go Brazil Wines.

This tasting runs over two sessions 11th & 18th February, from 7pm – 8pm each evening. Taking in Brazil’s most important wine regions, varieties and styles, with a Sparkling Rosé, a tangy white Moscato and a Viognier of world class. Onto the reds, beginning with a juicy unoaked Merlot, then a cracking three-grape blend of Tempranillo, Malbec and Tannat, finishing with a fascinating Brazilian take on Northern Italy’s Teroldego variety.
