Bodegas El Paraguas has starred the cover and a large report at the most readen wine supplement in Galicia, De Vinos, edited by La Voz de Galicia, fifth most widespread media in Spain. Under the headline “The Galician wineries become bold”, the publication recognizes the big effort and the innovative character of Bodegas El Paraguas.
In the center pages of De Vinos, an interview with Marcial Pita threshed the R & D project that Bodegas El Paraguas develops in Esmelle, Ferrol’s parish, where Felicísimo Pereira exercises as brilliant wine consultant. There, the Blanco Legítimo wine variety is the only muse from a couple of vineyards that stand as a garden of tests, where different provenances and clones of this variety are still to be discovered.
The project of Bodegas El Paraguas starts definitively in the year 2011. Its birth owes to the meeting of young professionals with long experience, who put all their effort and knowledge in recovering the brilliance that the Ribeiro, one of the best white wines of the world, enjoyed once. Felicísimo Pereira and Marcial Pita, two figures of the Galician wine scene, has joined to create the unique white: El Paraguas Atlántico 2011. An innovative spirit, which seeks to use the last technologies, moves them to relaunch a singular wine with centuries of history. 405 Spanish wines and spirits have taken part in the IV National Wine Press Award 2012, proposed by members of the AEPEV. 82% of members have exercised their rights to vote.
