Rosé wine is perhaps the one with the most deeply rooted tradition in this area of León. Who hasn't come out of short films accompanying tapas with a claret? In fact, together with the D.O Navarra and the D.O. Penedés, the D.O. León is the one that produces and markets the most variety of rosé wines. Specifically, the Pardevalles rosé, which is made entirely from the Prieto Picudo grape, has an intense, very bright pink color, perfect for combining with almost any dish, since it combines the intensity required by more forceful dishes with the fineness and delicate balance perfect for softer recipes. Thus, the pink Pardevalles has obtained the following awards in 2021, in addition to those it already had:
- VinDuero Awards – VinDuero AwardsVinDuero Awards VinDuero Awards VinDuero Awards
- Golden tendrilVinDuero Awards
- Brussels International Competition Rosés Edition: the prestigious competition organized rewards the best wines from around the world in different categories. The Pardevalles Rosado 2020 was awarded the silver medal in the rosé category.

Another of the wines that has received the most recognition throughout this year is the white Albarín, made from the homonymous grape that is grown in this Leonese region. And, without a doubt, we could qualify these wines as the most surprising of the D.O. Lion; and it is that, far from resembling other whites that are softer and where the grape is less noticeable, in this case the Albarín is characterized by being a more complex white wine, where the fruity notes more typical of this wine intermingle with other herbaceous in nature. The result is a white wine with more body and consistency, which has been recognized in 2021 also outside our country:
- Cathay Pacific Competition (Hong Kong): this international competition that takes place in Hong Kong has awarded the white Albarín with the bronze medal in this competition.
- National Contest of Small D.O(Hong Kong): this international competition that takes place in Hong Kong has awarded the white Albarín with the bronze medal in this competition.

In addition to the recognitions and awards obtained at an international level, in Spain we have a very important reference in the oenological sector: the Peñín Guide. It is the most important to measure the level of excellence and quality of Spanish wines, which makes it more difficult to achieve a good score.

Achieving a score of over 90 is essential to participate in the Best Wines of Spain Show, which took place at the end of November in Madrid. Thus, Pardevalles participated as the main representation of León wines in a renowned fair with a marked international character.
The beginning of a long way to go
In short, 2021 ends as a year of recognition and projection for the wines of the D.O. León, both for the quality of its native grapes and for the marked winemaking tradition of this region. A projection that, far from fading, has only just begun to take off. Proof of this is the set of awards received by the wineries that belong to the D.O. León, with Pardevalles as one of its top representatives. In fact, these 8 awards that it has obtained this year complete a list of winners that is already around 100 awards obtained in the last 25 years.
At Pardevalles we feel very fortunate, as well as proud, to help make León's wines increasingly known and admired, both in the rest of Spain and throughout the world. Our work has only just begun.
