RRR refers to the three Designations of Origin which represent the three main wines on our route: Ribera del Duero, Rioja and Rueda. Visitors to the establishments included on each route can enjoy our Ribera 12 Linajes Crianza, Rioja Valdelacierva Crianza and/or Rueda Señorío de Garci Grande Verdejo while they are thinking about which prize to choose.

Through an easy voucher exchange (the waiter will give customers one voucher per drink-2 vouchers in the case of 12 Linajes), wine lovers can opt to take home (or share with their friends on the premises) a bottle of the wine that they have tasted, or if they prefer they can choose another wine to broaden their tasting experience.

The exchange process is both easy and generous: in exchange for 10 vouchers you get a bottle of Señorío de Garci Grande Verdejo, for 15 you get a bottle of 12 Linajes Crianza and in exchange for 25 you get a Magnum bottle (1.5 litres) of Valdelacierva.

This is an excellent chance for sharing a unique special moment while playing at winning a prize and, of course, enjoying and discovering (for those new to the experience) the delight of tasting these three wines that we have selected for the occasion.

We are looking forward to the commencement of our route that has been designed to award the loyalty shown towards our brands on behalf of establishments along the way, and to promote the tasting of our products: for wine lovers, for those already familiar with our wines and those who have not yet had the opportunity to discover them.

Guipúzcoa is the second destination on our route, which starts in Alicante and which will continue through different parts of Spain. For the duration of the promotion (19th June – 19th July) we will have other surprises for the enjoyment of clients who decide to visit the places involved in the promotion.

BASES LEGALES RUTA RRR GUIPÚZCOA

Guandong, 9th March 2015. Executive MBA Students of the University Center CESINE, located in Santander, Cantabria, have moved to China to learn about the particularities of the Asian market. The city that was chosen for the visit was Guanzhou, in the province of Guandong, located in southern China. For one week these students will have the opportunity to visit factories, companies, markets and different entities.

We have had the chance to show our facilities in China and to share with them our own experience, emphasizing how our team of professionals from both continents works and the most significant cultural differences in business relationships, providing information about the wine industry in China with the particularities that we know so well after our presence in this country since 2011.

We wish the best to each of them, happy to have done our bit to their learning about business, management and economics in such an interesting country for the Spanish companies like China.

Wine Spectator is one of the most valued publications by influencial professionals and consumers of wine in the United States. Its system is the blind tasting (do not know the wine and the brand at the time of being tasted) and it is unanimously worldwide recognized as one of the most reliable publications and extremely demanding of the industry.

The 91 points obtained put this wine in privileged positions in the list, within 20% of the best Spanish red wines rated in the past 12 months, with the added value that is in the first place (along with another 6 ) in value for money of Spanish wines in its price category (PVP wines 1-20 $), and included in the list (8th position) of “Top values all red wines 20$ or less” considering all the wines worldwide.

Tasting note:

Rich and seamless, this red delivers plum, licorice, cedar and smoky flavors over firm, well-integrated tannins. Rather monolithic now, but displays density and harmony. Drink now through 2025. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 5,000 cases made. (Feb 28, 2015)

Besides this Rioja, one of the wines of Hispanobodegas that this publication has highlighted is Catania Crianza 2011, one “Ribera del Duero” of $ 16 PVP in USA that has been rated with 89 points in November issue and has been expressly recomended in a list with the title “16 affordable wines from Spain” with the comment “Spain offers a fount of delicious wines, especially reds, at reasonable prices”.

With these ratings, wines of Hispanobodegas successfully continue its path of recognition in the demanding American market, and therefore in the global wine industry: “Quality as our only objective”, the premise that the group decided as a goal in 2009, and it remains as our main goal.

Guide of the best…How was it created

Currently, no one can say that it is a casuality that the wines of Hispanobodegas have been placed on 3 years in the highest part of the top quality “winemaking”. 2 Years ago advertised with great satisfaction that 6 of their wines had been punctuated with 90 or more points in the 2013 edition of the Guide (93-92 -91-90 -90-90), and today we can say that they have left behind that awaited goal with 9 wines that achieve the scale, with the added that 7 of them exceed 90 points.

Harvest by harvest, day by day, the group Hispanobodegas improves, complying word by word what was promised to himself and consumers one day in 2009: Quality as its only objective.

Serve this as encouragement to continue with the path taken, being aware that there is still a long way to cover. “We do not wish to stop here”, “our desired business and quality model, is even higher. We know that with the time, improving will be more difficult and in our next stair there are wineries and wines with very long history and excellent bases that have taken many years to reach the summit; our group is young, but we learned a lot during these years and we will continue in the same way.”

The three wineries belonging to the Group, assigned respectively to the Appellations Rioja, Ribera del Duero and Rueda achieved gold medals at Mundus Vini International Competition, which is considered one of the most prestigious wine competitions throughout the world. This contest is valued by the World Association of Wine Writers and Journalists (WAWWJ) with 8 points in the ranking, above other prestigious as Decanter, IWC or ConcoursMondial of Bruxelles.

160 tasters from 38 countries assessed nearly 5,000 wines, having been awarded all the wines presented by Hispanobodegas (4 gold and 4 silver).

These are the “gold wines”: AlfarReserva 2009 and Valdelacierva Crianza 2011 from D.O.Ca Rioja, AnierVendimiaSeleccionada 2010, belonging to Ribera del Duero Appellation and 12 LinajesVerdejo 2013, related to Rueda Appellation.

These awards obtained by Hispanobodegas confirm its position in the top of the “winemaking quality”, and certainly one of the role models in the industry in relation to the combination of recognized quality / price offered. In 2013 the scores of the wines placed the Group in the 14th position in the WAWWJ ranking of Spanish Wineries and in the 81th worldwide.
