El Molí Wine Tastings
Big whites, rouge rosés, daring cavas and decadent reds, …rarely, will you find a country as rich in wine-making tradition and diversity of styles as Catalunya. Our wine-tastings demonstrate the variety and quality of wines from Penedes to Priorat and from the Terra Alta to Costers de Segre.
Paddy Mannion, sommelier and wine scribe, has been discovering and presenting the wines and bodegas of Catalunya for 20 years.
