For the second time in its short history, Bodegas El Paraguas obtains the highest recognition from the Asociación Española de Periodistas y Escritores del Vino (AEPEV) for the wine El Paraguas Atlántico. The white wine of the Galician winery has been named Best Wine of Spain in the category of white wines at the contest that annually performs the association presided over by José Luis Murcia.
Although Bodegas El Paraguas does not present its wines to competitions, the VIII Edition of the Mejores Vinos y Espirituosos de España is a different contest, since they are the members of the AEPEV, who in a double round vote decide which Spanish wines must compete for this award.
A vote in which more than 90% of its members have taken part and in which they have had to decide between the 1,055 marks proposed in the first phase of the contest, of which a total of 143 wines and 41 spirits passed to the end in the 11 chapters to which they chose. A very rigorous qualification system that has resulted in the prize for the wine El Paraguas Atlántico 2014.
The prize to be received by Felicísimo Pereira and Marcial Pita, ideologues and owners of Bodegas El Paraguas, will be delivered next April in the course of a gala meal to be celebrated in Moriles (Córdoba) and to which both the Authorities of the Autonomous Community of Andalusia as the boards of directors of FIJEV (International Federation of Wine Journalists and Writers) and AEPEV have announced their attendance.
