A Coroa
2011 receives a silver medal in the competition named The Best Spanish Wines
for USA, held in Miami Beach and that follows
the trail of the Challenge to the Best Spanish Wines for Asia, held in 2011 in
Hong Kong.
If a few
days ago the professional sector leading critics of the U.S. wine industry were
considering the Godello as the great promise of the spanish international wine world, yesterday arrived new
recognition that gives prevalence to the great prestige of the DO Valdeorras in the USA market.
Again, the Godellos
of the winecellar A Coroa, after being rated the best godello marketed in the USA
by The New York Times, becomes the great ambassador of the Galician wines in
North America, winning a silver medal in the competition The Best Spanish Wines
for USA.
This award
joins the following received by winery A Coroa in 2012: Gold and Silver medal
at International Wine Challenge Catavinum, Silver medal at the Lyon
International Wine Competition, Silver Bacchus 2012, award for excellence in
Select Wine ProWein Challenge 2012 and the Tender of the monopoly market of
Sweden.
The jury
for this competition was composed of 20 judges, among which included importers,
distributors, sommeliers and buyers of the hotel industry in the country. They
took part of a blind tasting of a total of 136 wines from different
appellations of origin.
Among the
tasting committee members it must be highlighted the presence of the chief
sommelier of the hotel Ritz Carlton Florida, Jorge Mendoza, the director of
Terra Spania Wines, Antonio Gomez, or Cesar Basurto, well known buyer of the
recognized importing firm Southern
Wines. The president of the jury was the drinks purchasing director of St.
Regis Hotel Beverage Miami, the host institution.
The event's success achieved in this first
edition has ensured continuity, and the second installment of the USA Challenge
will take place in April next year, with expectations of "increasing the
number of wines participating, all these with an excellent value for
money" organizers said.
To make
clear the importance of the USA market in the wine industry internationally, is
only necessary to skim the data received of the report made by the Vinexpo and the International Wine &
Spirits Research (IWSR), which informs that in the USA were consumed 2,800
million liters of wine during last year, a figure that puts the country ahead
of wine powers like France and Italy. Moreover, prospects for growth are 10%
through 2015.
This new
award does nothing but reaffirm the great international prestige of the DO
Valdeorras wines that, according to experts, will continue to grow in coming
years to bolster the increasingly widespread
maximum which rates the wines of this DO as "the winemaking
revolution of the century".
