The competition is organized by The National Off-Licence Association (NoffLA). In this edition, awards were issued to 48 wines from all over the world, with Rioja Vega Crianza 2018 given the highest recognition by being selected as Best Wine in Ireland.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A coupage of Tempranillo and Graciano varieties that is born in the heart of the Rioja DOC, on the estates grown by this centenary winery. This wine is aged in American oak barrels for a year and subsequently cellared a further year at the winery before release. The result is a well rounded, elegant wine with an authentic Rioja typicity.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Rioja Vega Crianza 2018 adds one more award to the long list of recognitions it has won throughout this vintage. The gold medals won in international competitions such as Gilbert &amp; Gaillard, Berliner Wein Trophy and the Asian Wine Trophy stand out.
