The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food has awarded the Spanish Food Award for Best Wine, year 2021, ex aequo, to the ‘Campillo 57 Gran Reserva 2013’ wines of the Rioja Qualified Designation of Origin, from Bodegas Campillo, from Laguardia ( álava); and ‘Vilarnau Ecológico Brut Rosado Reserva’, from the Cava Denomination of Origin, from Bodegas González Byass.
The Alimentos de España Award for Best Wine is a sign of the support that the ministry grants to such an emblematic product. A jury made up of people of recognized prestige in the wine sector has participated in granting these awards, who chose the winners among the best rated wines in the 2021 Bacchus International Competition.
Campillo 57 Grand Reserve 2013
It is a red wine made with grapes of the Tempranillo and Graciano varieties, from the 2013 vintage. The harvest and selection are carried out manually, with grapes from the Villa Lucía and Larraz estates. The wine is aged for 24 months in French Allier oak barrels.
Belonging to the Faustino Group, Bodegas Campillo shares the family character and international prestige of the rest of the group’s wineries. It is surrounded by 50 hectares of vineyards, at the foot of the Sierra de Cantabria in the heart of the Rioja Alavesa, in the medieval town of Laguardia. The ownership of the vineyard allows them to control from the origin to the final quality, obtaining wines with temperament and personality, of great power, richness and elegance.
Vilarnau Organic Brut Rosé Reserva cava
It is obtained from a coupage of the Garnacha Tinta (85%) and Pinot Noir (15%) varieties. The grapes used for its production come from our own vineyards, located in the surroundings of the cellar and certified with the Ecological Viticulture label since 2015, which implies maximum respect for the biodiversity of the surrounding flora and fauna.
In 1982 Vilarnau joined the González Byass group. The winery is located on the Can Petit i les Planes de Vilarnau estate, surrounded by its own vineyards, in the Espiells area of Sant Sadurní d’Anoia, the cradle of cava. Its new facilities were inaugurated in October 2005.
On the estate are all the native varieties of Penedés: macabeu, xarel.lo and parellada, as well as the new chardonnay and pinot noir in which the latest precision viticulture techniques are being applied. It is important to highlight that respect for the environment is a constant at all times, where the purification and reuse of irrigation water is an example.
