This is attested by the last of the specialized publications in seeing the light, the 2020 Wine and Oil Guide published by La Semana Vitivinícola directed by Salvador Majón. This manual catalogs wines according to the majority variety with which they have been made. And in the treixadura viniferous section, El Paraguas Atlántico 2018 qualifies with 96 points out of 100, the only wine presented to the publisher by Bodegas El Paraguas.
On the other hand, Joaquín Parra, at the head of the Wine Up Guide, also wanted to advance the first scores of the 2021 guide, which includes the three wines produced by Bodegas El Paraguas within the framework of the D.O. Ribeiro. Fai un Sol de Carallo 2017 (94.31 points), La Sombrilla 2017 (93.62 points) and El Paraguas Atlántico 2018 (92.85 points) are once again among the best wines in Spain.

 
 
 
 
 

Fai un Sol de Carallo 2018, memorable vintage of the 'top' wine from Bodegas El Paraguas

Fai un Sol de Carallo 2018, memorable vintage of the 'top' wine from Bodegas El Paraguas
 
 

The sixth vintage of Fai un Sol de Carallo wine, 2018, is now available in your wine shops and specialized stores. As with previous vintages, and because Bodegas El Paraguas only bottles selected bunches from a specific estate, production is extremely limited, only 776 bottles. In addition, in view of the evolution of its little brother, El Paraguas Atlántico 2018, from Bodegas El Paraguas we venture to tell you that this will be one of the best aging harvests that we have produced from Fai un Sol de Carallo.
Fai un Sol de Carallo 2018 is a wine conceived in the D.O. Ribeiro with the triumvirate of great Galician autochthonous grapes: the Treixadura, the Albariño and the Godello. A wine made from a selection of clusters from vines located in the most favored socalcos or terraces of an own vineyard and that have been made entirely in a 600-liter barrel, consciously brought from a tiny Burgundy oak grove. After twelve months of aging in second-use wood, the resulting wine has remained refining in the bottle until it is marketed.
La Viña la Cabrita is located in the municipality of Ribadavia, where the clusters that make up Fai un Sol de Carallo 2018 of Treixadura, Albariño and Godello come from. Located at an altitude above sea level of between 219 and 341 feet, the vineyard of that the white is born Fai un Sol de Carallo is composed of sandy soils with a granite base and was planted in 1892, after phylloxera, by the great-grandfather of Felicísimo Pereira, one of the architects of Bodegas El Paraguas.
