Tim Atkin, British journalist and popularizer who has the Master of Wine title, the highest recognition in the wine sector, has tasted the whites of Bodegas El Paraguas for the second time, qualifying the wines of the Galician company with scores that place them among the best whites in the world.
For Atkin, the white La Sombrilla 2019 deserves a score of 98 points out of 100. “A wine with great minerality and complexity”, testifies the regular BBC contributor, who added that “the texture is driven by lively acidity, which is added to the depth and complexity of the wine”.
Likewise, Atkin tasted the other two plots that Bodegas El Paraguas produces individually in the Avia Valley of the D.O. Ribeiro and in the Ferrol parish of Esmelle. About Fai un Sol de Carallo 2019, which Atkin has scored 96 points, highlights its “delicate integration of wood”; while about Astillero 2021, the English disseminator comments that there is “a humid and earthy character” in the wine.
