The galician film Vilamor and the wines of the D.O. Valdeorras appellation winery "A Coroa" reap awards and high praise in New York.


 The New York International Film Festival, held last week in the American State capital, has resulted in a resounding success for the Galician culture represented cinematically by the film Vilamor and enologically by A Coroa wines.

Synergies between cinema and winemaking have turned into a successful reception for Galicia at the New York International Film Festival. Thus, the winery belonging to the D.O.Valdeorras appellation "A Coroa" wanted to contribute selflessly to the galician film presentation, which took place last week in the House of Spain in the capital of New York and has won two major awards at the Festival, handing over several crates of wine for the event.

In an event of a cultural nature, which was also attended by leading figures from the international audiovisual and several institutional representatives, the Vilamor team presented D.O. Valdeorras appellation wines personified in the A Coroa winery, as one of the great ambassadors of Galicia worldwide.


During the film presentation the Vilamor team paused for a toast with A Coroa, in which the film director Ignacio Vilar explained in detail, and through an intervention of about 15 minutes, the long path and characteristics that have led  the D.O.Valdeorras appellation wines to become some of the most fashionable wines in the international wine scene.

Once the presentations finished, attendees had the chance to taste the A Coroa wines among high praises, while taking photos with the Vilamor team represented by the director Ignacio Vilar and the actors and actresses Rubén Riós, Sabela Arán, Xoel Yáñez and Mayka Braña.

 
On the other side, Isabel Pérez  (Councilor of Culture of Ourense) made sure to remember the importance of joining the Galician traditions through the diverse expressions of the land: culture, art, gastronomy and ethnology.

Through this event, it is showed the strong commitment of the D.O. Valedorras appellation with the internationalization of the Galician culture, reinforcing, in turn, the prestige of this appellation wines abroad.
