The three wines produced by Bodegas El Paraguas in the heart of the Avia del Ribeiro valley rank among the eleven best valued by the prestigious magazine in the entire Denomination of Origin, with a total of more than one hundred qualified wines and more than 300 labels that appear in the Ribeiro market.

The taster Luis Gutiérrez, responsible for the valuations of the national wines, has awarded 94 Parker points to the La Sombrilla 2017 wine, positioning itself as one of the highest-rated whites in Galicia. For its part, El Paraguas Atlántico 2018 reached 93 valuation points, while Fai un Sol de Carallo 2016 obtained a higher score of 93+ points.
