The wines of Bodegas El Paraguas on the podium of the Guía Peñín 2023

  Valoraciones Guía Peñín
 

The latest edition of the most accredited of the wine guides in Spanish, the 2023 Guía Peñín, has advanced in its online version the scores of the whites produced by Bodegas El Paraguas, qualifying all the wines presented by the Galician firm with more than 93 points out of 100, a rating that positions the whites from the manufacturing house among the best in Spain for yet another year and as indisputable benchmarks on the Galician scene.
On this occasion, Bodegas El Paraguas decided to send the wines La Sombrilla 2019 and Fai un Sol de Carallo 2018, rated with 94 and 96 points out of 100, which guarantees them a podium in the XXII Salón de los Mejores Vinos de España, which Bodegas El Paraguas will attend in November. In fact, the three white wines produced by Bodegas El Paraguas in the Avia Valley attended the 2023 Guía Peñín, reserved for a handful of wines with the publication's highest ratings. Finally, the wine El Paraguas Atlántico 2020 was considered by the editors of the guide with 93 points out of 100.
"The guide of guides, the vademecum of national wines, the reference work on Spanish wines..." All these names by which the Guía Peñín has been defined in recent years do justice to its important trajectory. The most widely read book on Spanish wines in the world reaches almost 10,000 wines tasted in this edition.

 
 
 
 
 
 

Harvest 2022, the harvest of the drought

  Harvest 2022, the harvest of the drought
 

Just a few days before the vintage begins, the 2022 harvest at Bodegas El Paraguas will go down in history as one of the hottest and driest in Galicia since 2003. The Galician region said goodbye to a rainy November, which gave way to a hot December, with temperatures eight degrees above normal in the last week of the month.
Throughout January and February there was hardly any rain. In fact, in January it only rained four days and it was the driest of the century, while something similar happened in February. March continued to be cold and rainy, giving way to a spring that was cooler than usual, which delayed the sprouting of the Treixadura grape and the rest of the varieties that Bodegas El Paraguas pampers. In May the heat began to appear, although June was cool and the plants did not suffer inclement weather.
In July the first episodes of extreme heat began, followed by days with fog until noon, very complicated for the vines. Then came an atrocious drought, not remembered since 1995, which lasted until mid-August. The vines suffered from water stress, but a stormy front crossed Galicia on August 16 and 17, greatly benefiting the field. The next few days will dictate judgment for the bunches of Bodegas El Paraguas.
