The Unión
Española de Catadores (Spanish Tasters’ Union) has announced the Premios
Bacchus for 2015, and needless to say, a Sherry has won a Gran Bacchus de Oro,
the top award for wines scoring over 93 points. 80 tasters including Masters of
Wine, winemakers and Master Sommeliers tasted blind 1652 wines from 18
countries at the Casino de Madrid in March in this XIII edition of the competition,
so it is quite thorough!

In
continuation of the 50th anniversary celebrations of Manzanilla de
Sanlúcar joining the Sherry DO, there will be a bigger than ever tasting at the
Hotel Alfonso XIII in Sevilla. It will take place on the 13th April
in the run up to the Feria de Abril, at which massive amounts of Manzanilla are
consumed. Experts, winemakers and professionals will be able to share the new
spring sacas.
