Wine knowledge
To enjoy wine you do not have to be an expert. Although the more we learn from something, the more we enjoy it, right?
For that reason, we want to give some data that we consider important about wine:
- Wine is a natural product: Fermentation is a process that has a lot of poetry and magic … the natural sugar of the fruit is transformed into alcohol and thus the wine is born. If you want you can also look at some aspects of the history of wine.
- There are many ‘wines’ in wine: Any palate can notice very notable differences between different types of wine, depending on the grape variety, the climate where it was grown, the know-how of the winery, etc.
- Combing wine and food: Wine with food is an art, but that should not leave us behind. The best thing is to learn it with practice. The idea is that the flavors of wine and food are reinforced, rather than ‘counteracted’.
- Tasting a wine It is not necessary to be an expert to taste a wine, it is enough to sharpen our senses to better capture their characteristics, and try to describe them to ourselves (in our own words if necessary). Little by little we will distinguish more and more things.
- Choose the best wine: Not always the most expensive wine is better. Buying an expensive wine ensures a certain quality, but it is not always the best option. It depends a lot on our tastes and on the situation in which we are going to consume it. That is why it is important to cultivate our own criteria when evaluating a wine.
We invite you to visit one of the most emblematic vineyards of Peru “Hacienda Bodega Tacama” located in Ica, an oasis 300 km south of Lima.
