About El Paraguas
El Paraguas is a boutique wine producer based in Galicia, Spain, specializing in limited-production, high-quality white wines that reflect the unique terroir of the region. Founded by winemaker Felicísimo Pereira and wine consultant Marcial Pita, El Paraguas was established with the aim of showcasing the potential of Galician grape varieties, particularly Treixadura, Godello, and Albariño. The winery’s philosophy centers on minimal intervention and respect for traditional viticultural practices, combined with a modern sensibility that prioritizes precision and balance in every bottle.
The vineyards managed by El Paraguas are situated in the Ribeiro and Valdeorras subzones, with a focus on old vines planted on granitic soils. These sites benefit from Atlantic influences, which provide a cool climate conducive to slow grape ripening and the development of complex aromas. The team pays meticulous attention to vineyard management, practicing sustainable agriculture and hand-harvesting to ensure only the best fruit is selected. Yields are kept low to enhance concentration and character in the wines.
In the cellar, El Paraguas employs a gentle approach to winemaking. Grapes are sorted, pressed, and fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel or neutral oak vessels, depending on the cuvée. The use of oak is subtle, intended to add texture and complexity without overpowering the varietal expression. Aging on lees is a hallmark of their style, contributing to the wines’ depth, mouthfeel, and aging potential. The result is a portfolio of wines that are vibrant, mineral-driven, and elegantly structured, with a clear sense of place.
El Paraguas produces several cuvées, including the flagship “El Paraguas Atlántico,” a blend dominated by Treixadura with smaller proportions of Godello and Albariño. This wine is celebrated for its aromatic intensity, freshness, and layered palate. Limited-edition bottlings, such as “Fai un Sol de Carallo,” showcase the best parcels and vintages, offering collectors and enthusiasts a deeper insight into the region’s diversity. Each wine is released in small quantities, underscoring the producer’s commitment to quality over quantity.
Critical acclaim has followed El Paraguas since its inception, with international wine critics and guides recognizing the purity, finesse, and age-worthiness of its wines. The producer’s dedication to elevating Galician white wines has contributed to a broader appreciation for the region’s indigenous varieties and winemaking heritage. El Paraguas continues to innovate while remaining rooted in tradition, working closely with local growers and investing in research to further refine their approach.
Today, El Paraguas stands out as a leading voice in the new wave of Galician winemaking, drawing on the region’s rich viticultural legacy while pushing boundaries in pursuit of excellence. Their wines are sought after by sommeliers and collectors alike, prized for their authenticity, precision, and expression of Galicia’s Atlantic soul. Through a blend of passion, expertise, and respect for the land, El Paraguas offers a compelling vision for the future of Spanish white wine.
