Our red wine Señorio de Bocos "Roble", of the 2016 vintage, has been distinguished with the Ruby Medal at the International Awards "WINE AND WOMAN" 2018, which were held on May 8 and 9 in Madrid (Spain).
Wines from all over the world have been judged and awarded by an all-female jury in the XI Edition of the OFFICIAL International OIV Calendar Contest.
The past 8th and 9th of May were celebrated in the Spanish School of Tasting of Madrid the tastings corresponding to the International Wine and Woman Awards 2018. This veteran and prestigious contest, which celebrates its XI Edition this year, is organized by Alamesa, account with the recognition of the International Vine and Wine Organization, and the sponsorship of Quely and Vaduva. The Contest has the peculiarity of being the first world wine competition in which the opinion of women is taken into account individually, also rewarding the best wines made by wineries with high female participation. Since its creation in 2007, many competitions have been born with female juries, but none so far values the work of women who make wine.
The call of the contest was a success, improving comfortably the numbers of previous editions. More than two hundred different wines were registered covering all the categories of the Contest, coming from 15 different countries, among which are as diverse origins as Slovakia, Uruguay, Chile, New Zealand or the United States, and representing a total of 34 international wine regions. The national participation was also very remarkable, with 70% of participating wines from up to 37 Spanish Designations of Origin.
