Renowned for its wine work within the valley of the Avia (Ribeiro), Bodegas El Paraguas presented on September 27th, in a double call, the first harvest produced by the firm of wine Astillero 2015, the first white wine produced in the region Ferrolterra.
Astillero 2015 is a wine conceived in the parish of Esmelle (Ferrol) with the oldest documented variety of Galicia, the Blanco Legitimo grape. The bunches with which this wine was produced come from a plot exposed and facing the midday sun, occupying a quarter hectare of land.
This experimental and non-commercial white wine was developed in collaboration with CFEA of Guísamo, an agency of the Rural Environment Ministry of the Galician regional government, which ceded its facilities and its effort to realize this wine with ridiculous production, only 47 bottles.
The official presentation of the wine was held at Restaurante Modesto, where the most important restaurateurs and sommeliers from Ferrolterra (Modesto, A Gabeira, Muiño do Vento, Bacoriño, O Camiño Inglés, Meson Picasso or Mesón Alfonso, among others) attended. Later, in front of his countrymen from Esmelle, Marcial Pita -head of Bodegas El Paraguas with Felicísimo Pereira- held another wine tasting of Astillero 2015 with its neighbors.
