The new Alma Rosé vintage arrives with a Gold Medal at the Brussels World Competition
Scores obtained in James Suckling 2018
We started the return of the holidays with very good news for Bodegas y Viñedos Illana after getting excellent scores from James Suckling. The American critic has just published his report in JamesSuckling.com after tasting more than 2,600 Spanish references during 2 intense weeks.
James Suckling is a critic of wines and cigars. He was a senior editor and head of the European Wine Spectator Office and is considered by Forbes Magazine to be one of the most influential wine critics in the world.
In point of fact, our red wines Selección 2014 y Bobal Vino de Parcela 2014 have been valued in this tasting with 92 points.
Also we have to mention the 92 points for one of our standout whites, Casa de Illana Carmen 2016. This latter is all the more surprising given that Suckling’s report reveals that he was rather disappointed in general with Spanish whites, with the exception of those of the DO Rías Baixas.
In addition, red wines Expression Tempranillo 2017 y Tresdecinco 2016 have been scored with 90 and 92 points respectively. These wines will be available soon.
Casa de Illana
Casa de Illana Selección 2014 está elaborado con las variedades Cabernet Sauvignon, Bobal y Syrah. Con una crianza de 14 meses en barrica, destaca por sus notas especiadas, fruta roja, taninos densos y elegante estructura.
Bobal Vino de Parcela 2014 es nuestro primer vino elaborado 100% con la variedad Bobal y es nuestra apuesta decidida por mantener, conservar y respetar la variedad tradicional de nuestra comarca. Suckling resalta su sensación suculenta al paladar, potencia y equilibrio.
Carmen 2016 es un monovarietal de Sauvignon Blanc. Fermentado en barrica, con una crianza de 6 meses sobre finas lías en barrica de roble francés de 500L. De color amarillo limón y denso, aroma intenso, notas de cítricos y frutos tropicales. En boca es sabroso, persistente, con buena acidez y vivaz.
All these wines are available in our e-shop.
