Embark on a heartwarming journey with Moises and David Cohen from Elvi Wines as they weave a tale of reviving Spain's Jewish winemaking tradition, a craft unpracticed since the 15th century. Join us from the Cohens' visitor center in Priorat as we uncork the story behind Spain's only completely kosher winery. The family's dedication to sustainable and biodynamic winemaking practices across six distinctive terroirs speaks volumes about their reverence for both land and lineage. As we chat, the Father and Son team reveals the intricate dance of collaborating with local experts and how the next generation, epitomized by David's sister Leah, a newly minted oenologist, is already leaving her mark on the family legacy.
This episode pours out the essence of European wine regions, with a focus on the nuanced influence of terroir on each wine's identity. We explore the role of designations such as DO and DOC in preserving the authenticity of wines, ensuring that each bottle is a true expression of its origin. Discover how Elvi Wines navigates these strict regulations, and how the Cohen family brings their own flair to time-honored Spanish regions like Priorat and Montsant. The narrative flows into a discussion about the nascent appreciation of terroir in Kosher wine production, adding depth to the conversation around the character of wine as shaped by soil and climate.
Concluding with a flourish, we raise a glass to the Cohens' efforts in pioneering kosher wine in Spain and their elegant balancing act of crafting wines for both kosher and non-kosher markets, including prestigious Michelin-starred venues. The family's drive to innovate, is imbued with their commitment to natural quality. Their story of reconnection with Sephardic roots through winemaking is as layered as a fine vintage, offering a sip of inspiration that resonates beyond the vineyard. So pour yourself a glass, relax, and let us guide you through this rich blend of culture, history, and family in the world of winemaking.
