Why Bierzo, Spain matters now: Old vines and the rise of site
Long overshadowed by Rioja and Ribera del Duero, Bierzo is stepping into focus with wines that speak more clearly than ever of place Set in northwest Spain, in the province of León along the border with Galicia, Bierzo sits at a natural crossroads—between Atlantic freshness and inland warmth, between Castilla y León and Galicia. The region forms a basin encircled by mountains, with the Sil River running through its centre and vineyards rising along its slopes. That shape tempers the climate while creating a patchwork of exposures, elevations, and soils: clay in the valley, slate and quartz as you climb. It’s a region of altitude, but also of rugged terrain—small plots, steep slopes, old bush vines, and everywhere, the sense that the land is still very much in charge. Read Also: Rethinking Brunello: A more complete picture of Montalcino For generations, Bierzo was farmed for subsistence. Parcels planted as field blends—red and white varieties together, harvested together. Many of those

Behind the Cork™ - Paso D'Oro Cabernet Sauvignon
Paso D’Oro Cabernet Sauvignon ($22) Paso D'Oro is a winery venture by the Terlato Wine Group that focuses on producing high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon from the Paso Robles region in California. The name translates to "Way of Gold," paying tribute to the golden California sunshine and the "golden path" taken by the winemaker's family. The wines are crafted by Laura Orozco, who was appointed as the winemaker for this venture in 2022 after her successful tenure at Napa's Chimney Rock. The grapes for this wine are from four different American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) in Paso Robles including the Estrella District, San Juan Creek District, Geneseo District and the Highlands District. Each block has a different elevation, soil type, row direction, clone and rootstock. Paso D’Oro Cabernet Sauvignon is produced from 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petite Sirah and 4% Alicante Bouschet. Each individual vineyard block was fermented individually using several different yeast strains. It was aged 8 mo
