For the third time in its short history, Bodegas El Paraguas obtains the maximum recognition of the Asociación Española de Periodistas y Escritores del Vino (AEPEV) for the wine El Paraguas Atlántico. The leading white of the Galician winery has been named Best Wine of Spain in the category of white wines of the contest that annually makes the association presided over by José Luis Murcia.
Although Bodegas El Paraguas does not present its wines to competitions, the X Edition of the Mejores Vinos y Espirituosos de España is a different contest, since it’s the members of the AEPEV which in a double round voting decide which Spanish wines must compete for this award.
A votation in which most of its members have taken part and in which they had to decide between the 575 brands proposed in the first phase of the contest, of which a total of 139 wines made it to the final and 48 spirits in the 11 chapters to which they opted. A very rigorous qualification system that has resulted in the award for El Paraguas Atlántico 2017.
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 dinner to be held in Seville and to which have announced their attendance both the authorities of the Andalusian Autonomous Community as the boards of the FIJEV (Federación Internacional de Periodistas y Escritores del Vino) and the AEPEV.
