Our wines achieve, once again, to be a reference in the Manojo Awards. On this occasion, our Gold Rupestre 2021 has won the ‘Gran Manojo’ award in the Crianza red wine category of the Gran Manojo Awards. This is one of the most important competitions in our country in the sector, organized by the Regional Union of Agri-Food Cooperatives of Castilla y León (URCACYL).
The award ceremony took place in the town of Tordesillas (Valladolid) last Thursday 30 May in the emblematic location of the Casas del Tratado de Tordesillas. Our winery was represented by our director of administration and finance, Laura Romero, who was the person in charge of receiving this award for our Gold Rupestre in its 2021 vintage.
It is important to highlight that our Gold Rupestre adds another award in the Manojo Awards, after in 2022 the vintage of our red 100% Garnacha Tintorera 2019 got a ‘Manojo de Oro’. In previous years, our winery also received important recognitions in this wine contest, such as the ‘Gran Manojo’ award went to our Cueva del Chamán ‘Sauvignon Blanc 2017’ in the category of ‘Young Whites’. We have also received two ‘Manojo de Oro’ awards: one in the ‘Young Reds’ category for our Cueva del Chamán ‘Garnacha Tintorera 2017’ and another one in the ‘Young Oak Reds’ category for Santa Cruz de Alpera ‘Garnacha Tintorera 2016’.
More than 400 wines, including our Gold Rupestre, participated in the competition. Of which 62 became finalists and 27 were winners in various categories, including young whites, young rosés, young reds, young oak reds, crianza reds and reserve reds.
Laura Romero has valued this recognition as ‘another example of the consolidation of our top-of-the-range wine at a national level, which has once again been recognised at the Manojo Awards just a few weeks after the Campo y Alma awards recognised it as one of the best red wines in Spain’.
