Competitions

What do these awards mean?

Premios Baco

Organised by the Unión Española de Catadores, they are the benchmark wine competition for Spain's young wines and the only nationwide one devoted exclusively to the most recent vintage. More than four decades of history and blind tasting.

VinDuero-VinDouro

An international wine competition for Spain and Portugal established in 2005, a benchmark across the Iberian territory. The Arribe de Ouro is its top distinction, awarded by an international jury.

Blind tasting

At all these competitions, oenologists, sommeliers and specialist journalists assess the samples without knowing the winery, which guarantees the objectivity and independence of the award.
