Grandes Pagos Of Northern Spain

Cost: 95

This class is part of the Grandes Pagos de España Certification Program. You may enroll in this module as a standalone class, or complete it as part of the full certification program to earn the Grandes Pagos de España Certificate.

Meseta North

The Meseta North module focuses on the wine regions, grape varieties, and Grandes Pagos de España (GPE) producers of north-central Spain.

Meseta North includes some of Spain’s most important inland wine regions, shaped by a continental climate and high elevation. These conditions produce bold, structured red wines, especially from Ribera del Duero and Toro, as well as fresh, expressive white wines such as Rueda.

You will study key grape varieties including Tempranillo (locally known as Tinto del País and Tinto de Toro), along with Mencía and Verdejo, and explore how altitude, climate, and soils influence wine style. The session also examines Garnacha, highlighting its modern renaissance through the elegant wines of Secastilla from DO Somontano.
