This is one of the referential publications in the world wine sector, together with "The Wine Advocate" of Robert Parker.
The
prestigious American wine critic Stephen Tanzer, is back to track to elevate the
Valdeorras Godello "A Coroa" giving to the wine, this time, 91 points
in his bimonthly publication "International Wine Cellar".
The one considered
by a large segment of the world of wine experts as the biggest competitor of Robert Parker, bets once more on Godellos of
the D.O. Valdeorras appellation as the reference of the Spanish white wines in
the international wine market.
The A Coroa
winery, which has just got a major gap in the Swedish monopoly market through
System Bolaget chain, continues guaranteeing the quality of its Godello 2011.
In this occasion, the cellar gets a new recognition to its achievements that is

magazine has stressed among 20 wines of the Godello variety sold in the USA
market the A Coroa wine as the most significant of them all, following the
taste of the wine critic Eric Asimov. He has highlighted this as a "deep,
tasty and unique wine, with a succulent texture and flavors of tropical
fruits", expanding his valuation with the sentence "is a wine that
not only represents power, but the power turned into wine".

Stephen
Tanzer is one of the most famous critics in the United States. He is the
director and editor of the bimonthly publication "International Wine
Cellars", which was launched in 1985. This uses a rating system based on a
wine quality scale that goes from 70 to 100 points, being the major competitor
of "The Wine Advocate" publication of Robert Parker. However, the
distinguishing feature of both publications lies on a less extravagant line
followed by Tanzer.
Tanzer
tastes more than 10,000 wines in the United States and abroad annually, and is
a professional who spends many months of the year visiting vineyards, wine
regions and meeting the producers.
Hence, this
rating ratifies the international prestige of the Godellos of the D.O.
Valdeorras appellation, and confirms the high quality of these as "some of
the most fashionable wines in the international wine sector."
