David Schawarzwälder presents in this webminar various organic wines from the southeastern Spanish apellation, which show that the efforts of the Yecla PDO to develop into a region dominated by organic viticulture were spot on. The prevailing conditions are optimal. The Monastrell grape variety, which dominates the region, is extremely adaptable and frugal in view of the extremely warm, rough and barren highlands of the Yecla PDO. Characteristics that, by the way, should also make it the perfect wine partner for climate change. The webinar will be accompanied by an exemplary selection with six wines to be tasted.
