Wines from Spain Awards 2018
Fortunate to have been born in the great city of Liverpool and to fall into the world of wine. More than 20 years later I'm Boutinot's marketing manager for much of Europe (mostly Italy and Spain) and more than content with my compact family, including 3 cats (sadly just the 11 legs) and a 1969 'Dark Star' (no, not a wine!)
From all of the submissions, just 106 winning wines were selected, including 9 ‘Champion’ wines. Can we have a round of applause, please, for these winners – with a special mention to La Báscula (2 wines included in the list) and Fernando de Castilla (with 3)
… the latter is always a firm favourite in this competition and took a ‘Champion’ award for the phenomenal Vermut:
