Cirsion 2015 has achieved first place in the 12th Tasting of the Five Best Wines of Spain. The contest was held on June 26 in Garrucha (Almería). The Escánez Restaurant from Almería has hosted this tasting for several years -since 2002-, looking at 4 of the most important guides in our country. The Peñín Guide, El País Wine Yearbook, Proensa Guide and Gourmet Wine Guide.
Among the wines with the highest score in the sum of these guides, the five best are chosen. For a rigorous blind tasting. This year it has brought together people from the field of wine and gastronomy for an extraordinary lunch.
They have accompanied it with local products such as red shrimp, Pedro rooster bones, gallants and much more. Thus, Cirsion 2015 (DOCa Rioja) has prevailed over Alabaster 2015 (DO Toro)., La Nieta 2015 (DOCa Rioja), El Bosque 2015 (DOCa Rioja) and Alion 2014 (DO Ribera del Duero).
Apart from Cirsion 2015, the most popular variety is still tempranillo
Cirsion has reached first place in 10 of the 12 tastings carried out so far. A position that no other wine has achieved. It should be noted that the main grape variety of the tasted wines has been Tempranillo.
For this tasting, three wines from the DOCa Rioja were selected, one from the DO Ribera del Duero and one from the DO Toro. The wines were chosen taking into account that all of them had to be in all the previously mentioned guides.
The Escánez Restaurant. Located on the Almeria coast in the municipality of Garrucha, it repeats one more year as the venue for this tasting of the Five Best Wines of Spain. His experience and dedication to the hospitality industry began in 1982 and, since then, he has been a benchmark.

A very varied menu that, together with the great variety of wines they offer, guarantees an unparalleled gastronomic experience.
