Annual Wine Fair proves popular
Posted by: pinord
The open air market, known as “La Feria del Gall” or the “Cockerel’s Fair”, which took place this last weekend was a good showcase for numerous DO Penedès Wines. Our Diorama Collection Syrah was available to taste during the fair and was also chosen to pair with food presented at the Food Show during the fair. The Supercellar, a tasting zone where visitors could purchase red, rosé and white DO Penedès wines as well as sparkling wines, spirits and select food products, was held in the “Plaza del Vi” in Sant Julià park.
Many people came from neigbouring villages over the days the market was held in Vilafranca and the event was seen to be a success in terms of numbers of visitors.

Vaquos in the Ribera del Duero
Posted by: pinord
At the beginning of the year, Pinord released its new range of wines, Vaquos, made in the Ribera del Duero wine appellation.
Do you know why we chose the name, Vaquos?
Well, around the 6th century BC, the Vaquos were the first permanent settlers of the Northern Castillian Plain (Meseta Norte de Castilla). They were socially and culturally very advanced and knew a lot about viticulture and winemaking. Wine was one of their most important products and was drunk during feasts, social gatherings and even during funeral rites.
Pinord would like to pay homage to the Vaquos, a pioneering tribe who chose to settle on the very same fertile and magical soil which, twenty centuries later, continues to produce exceptional wines!
