The third edition of the Tast de Vins Base Corpinnat took place on Sunday 2 February at the Hotel El Avenida Palace in Barcelona.

More than 400 attendees – trade professionals, sommeliers, importers, enthusiasts and wine lovers – discovered the essence of Corpinnat by tasting the base wines of the 2024 vintage.

At each producer’s table, guests could enjoy the base wines from the 2024 harvest – both single varieties and blends, made entirely at each winery – which over time will become long-aged Corpinnat sparkling wines. It was also possible to compare a finished Corpinnat with its corresponding base wine from the 2024 vintage and assess its ageing potential.

See here all the base wines and finished Corpinnat wines that each of the thirteen Corpinnat wineries presented at the third edition of the Tast de Vins Base Corpinnat.

This year, as a new feature, three guided tastings were held in three languages to explore in depth the greatness of base wines and their importance in long-aged Corpinnat wines.

The three guided tastings – with capacity limited to 30 people per session – were organised as follows:

17:30 – Language: Catalan. Led by Arantxa de Cara (Can Descregut).
Arantxa de Cara presented two Corpinnat base wines from the 2024 vintage, Descregut and Fumissola, as well as the same wines already finished, from the 2022 and 2021 vintages respectively.

18:30 – Language: Spanish. Led by Jaume Gramona (Gramona).
Jaume Gramona presented, on the one hand, the single-variety base wines (Macabeu and Xarel·lo) from the 2024 vintage that will form part of III Lustros, as well as the finished blend for III Lustros 2024 and Gramona III Lustros from the 2016 vintage. He broadened the line-up with a 2024 Pinot Noir and Garnatxa Negra that will in future become Argent Rosat, as well as its finished wine, Corpinnat Argent Rosat 2020.

19:30 – Language: English. Led by Jessica Madigan (Cisteller).
Jessica Madigan offered a Xarel·lo from the 2024 vintage and its counterpart from the 2022 vintage, which is due to be released in a few months (still ageing). They also presented the final base-wine blend for Courtship 2024 and the same wine from the 2023 vintage, still ageing.

In addition, throughout the day attendees were able to enjoy an exceptional Riedel Experience glassware tasting courtesy of Euroselecció.
