El Paraguas Atlántico 2011 sees its first light

“The most anticipated project of wine in Galicia in 2012” or “the union of two of the best examples of Galician wine”… These are some of the comments preceding the enactment of this initiative that we present. Bodegas El Paraguas was born thanks to the encounter of two figures of Galician wine scene, the consultant winemaker Felicísimo Pereira and the journalist Marcial Pita. The best winemaker of Galicia in 2011, for the association of sommeliers Gallaecia, and the man who placed the wine El Linze, in two consecutive years, as best wine in Spain; join their forces and expertise to produce a single target: El Paraguas Atlántico.

A wine produced in the D.O. Ribeiro (northwest of Spain) with the triumvirate of great grapes of Galicia: Treixadura, Albariño and Godello. The new Ambassador of the Galicians white´s wines has a philosophy which incorporates the latest technology in wine at the service of old age vineyards, in which the intervention of Bodegas El Paraguas is minimal and always serve the highest quality the clusters.

El Paraguas Atlántico is a wine with a price of around 15 € at specialty stores, limited production, only 6,000 bottles of the excellent vintage 2011, which aims to establish a new path to restore the splendor wine that Ribeiro lived centuries ago, one of the great white wines of world history.
