In this digital publication, the wines of the Galician firm are positioned, once again, among the best in Spain in their category.
The highest-rated white wine among all Spanish wines, according to the author from La Mancha, was Fai un Sol de Carallo 2022, with a score of 95.77 points. This score establishes Bodegas El Paraguas's top white wine as one of the best in the guide and, of course, as the best wine made primarily with the Treixadura grape variety.
Meanwhile, La Sombrilla 2022, with a score of 94.15 out of 100, also ranks among the top 10 white wines in Spain according to the author from Castilla-La Mancha. This limited-edition wine comes from the A Castiñeira estate and is made with 95% Treixadura and 5% Albariño grapes.

Bodegas El Paraguas welcomes wine tourism

With the addition of Iván Pereira Gómez, son of the technical director and owner of Bodegas El Paraguas along with Marcial Pita, Felicísimo Pereira, the fifth generation of the same family dedicated to winemaking are already doing field and winery work at the Galician firm.
Thanks to the help of Iván Pereira, who is bringing a breath of fresh air to Bodegas El Paraguas, a new chapter is beginning for the winery with a modest commitment to wine tourism. Starting this summer, the cellar in Cenlle will be open in the mornings to welcome the public and offer the opportunity to purchase some of the winery's wines.
Similarly, Bodegas El Paraguas will offer, by prior reservation, visits to the vineyards where its most iconic wines, such as Fai un Sol de Carallo and La Sombrilla, are produced. Some of these vineyards boast century-old vines, such as Finca La Cabrita, planted by Iván Pereira's great-great-grandfather in 1892, after phylloxera devastated the Ribeiro vineyards.

Bodegas El Paraguas is a hit at The Best of Spain trade show

Tim Atkin, British journalist and wine critic who holds the title of Master of Wine, the highest recognition in the wine industry, recently held The Best of Spain event in Madrid. This fair brought together the most discerning selection of the latest wines tasted by Atkin, all of which scored 95 points or higher, making it a valuable resource for professionals.
Bodegas El Paraguas attended the event with all the wines tasted by wine critic Beth Willard during 2026, all of which earned a score exceeding the required 95 points. The most striking for the professionals was the Galician winery's flagship white wine, El Paraguas Atlántico 2024, which received a score of 97 out of 100.
Similarly, Bodegas El Paraguas offered tastings of the two plots of land it produces and bottles individually in the Avia Valley of Ribeiro. Fai un Sol de Carallo 2021, which Atkin scored 96 points, stood out for its complexity; while La Sombrilla 2022, rated 95 points, captivated the professionals who tasted it.

La Sombrilla 2024, on sale in autumn

The 2024 vintage will go down in the history of Bodegas El Paraguas as one of the most complex and interesting in its short history, which began with the 2011 vintage. A challenging but spectacular year, it yielded exceptional quality in the single-vineyard wines produced by the Galician winery in the Avia Valley. This was especially true in the clay soils that nourish the vineyards from which La Sombrilla 2024 originates.
With these ingredients, La Sombrilla 2024, born from the A Castiñeira vineyard, will be released to the market next autumn. This white wine has a very limited run, with only 1,988 bottles available, sold by the allotted number and in a single day. However, if you are a member of the El Paraguas Winery Friends Club and have pre-ordered this wine, you will receive it before its official release.
A cult white wine that has already become part of the history of modern Galician winemaking. Harvest after harvest, La Sombrilla receives the acclaim of the most influential figures in the wine world, such as Luis Gutiérrez (responsible for Parker points in Spain for The Wine Advocate magazine), Tim Atkin (British author with the title of Master of Wine), and the Peñín Guide (the most widely read Spanish-language wine publication in the world), among others.
