Specialized prescribers discover the territory of D.O. Monterrei

The Regulatory Council, as part of its promotional actions programme, has just organised a visit by a delegation of Madrid-based prescriptors.

A total of five professionals have participated, in which those found Alberto Granados (director Revista Gastroplanet), Emma Sueiro (editor-in-chief of Canal Cocina), María Jose Cavadas (Madridiario and Diario Crítico), Elvira Sánchez (blog of Bodegas Catadelvino.com and La Bruja Viri) and Patsy Montiel (CEO Guía Madrid Seduce).

Among the activities they have been part of are three wine tunnels (‘Variedades’, ‘Añadas eméritas’ and ‘Valles’), presentation of the name at the headquarters of the entity and visit to the rock winery Xan Preto. In addition, four registered wineries have been visited (Fragas do Lecer, Terras do Cigarrón, Gargalo and Triay), where they have discovered their vineyards, facilities and wines.

“This is an initiative launched in recent years, and that we have wanted to repeat because it allows us to show the work of our winemakers and wine makers on site, as well as the terroir, varieties, elaborations and, of course, our culture and wine tradition”, highlights the president of the entity, Manuel Vázquez Losada.
