Every year Spanish wine guide La Vanguardia picks just 100 wines to be highlighted by experts and critics from the wine sector.
In this 2022 edition, our wine El Pedal Tempranillo has been awarded best value for money wine by Ferran Centelles, sommelier and wine critic for Spain at www.jancisrobinson.com.
Centelles chose El Pedal during a blind tasting of 300 wines from Rioja, and he rated it as outstanding among all of them: “we were tasting the best of the best from Rioja, and El Pedal came in among the remarkable ones. This wine is worth more than it costs”.
A very valuable award to be added to those El Pedal has already achieved from other guides and critics, recognizing its excellent value for money.
“Spicy character, mineral nuances, fine tannins and fruit all over. One of the best value for money wines that have passed through my palate”.
