Düsseldorf (Germany), 11 March 2024.- Four years after the launch of the category ‘Gran Vino de Rueda’ by the designation of Origin Rueda—a classification that identifies the selected brands with limited production and gastronomic character in this wine region—, Bodega Cuatro Rayas has consolidated its position as the benchmark of this type of high-end wines. The Gran Vino de Rueda wines from the cooperative amount to more than 60 top-tier recognitions after its launching, including, among others, ‘The Wine Advocate’ – Robert Parker’s scores for Cuatro Rayas Longverdejo 2021 (91p.) and Cuarenta Vendimias Cuvée 2021 (90p.).
The latest to join the list of triumphs of the premium wines from Cuatro Rayas came with the recent article published by the British wine specialised journalist and Master of Wine Tim Atkin in cooperation with Beth Willard, where up to six brands of the cooperative scored 90 points or higher, including three wines from the Gran Vino category. In addition, Atkin gave today the ‘DO Rueda Awards’ in an event held as part of Prowein 2024, where Bodega Cuatro Rayas has been recognised as “Cooperative of the Year”. Vicente Orihuela, Managing Director of Bodega Cuatro Rayas, accepted the award on behalf of the almost 300 cooperative members and around 80 employees who are part of the winery.
