    SEGURO DE EXPLOTACIONES DE UVA DE VINIFICACIÓN EN PENÍNSULA Y EN LA C.A. DE ILLES BALEARS NOVEDADES 2019 Las modificaciones respecto a la campaña anterior son: Limitación del Rendimiento Máximo Asegurable por parcela para cada Denominación de Origen (D.O.) o Vino de Pago, según cultivo (Blancas y Tintas) En el Plan 2018, el rendimiento máximo asegurable por parcela en los módulos 1-2A-2B Y 3, del Seguro Principal más el complementario, asegurando a precio de Denominación de Origen (D.O.) se estableció en 14.000 kg/ha. para todas las D.O. En el plan 2019, para asegurar a precio de D.O.se limita el rendimiento máximo asegurable (seguro principal + seguro complementario) por parcela. La novedad es que estos límites se establecen por D.O. siendo diferente para blancas y tintas (ver ANEXO III de estas Normas). No hay limitación si la parcela se asegura a precio fuera de Denominación de Origen, pudiendo asegurar el seguro principal más el complementario por encima de dichos límites. Esta limitación se aplicará en todos los módulos de aseguramiento. Para fijar esos máximos se ha tomado de referencia el pliego de condiciones técnicas de las distintas Denominaciones de Origen, aunque son superiores a los establecidos en los citados pliegos por D.O. o Vinos de Pago y variedades tintas y blancas. En todo caso en el módulo P, se mantiene el topado del rendimiento de no asegurar más de 14.000 kg/ha, ni menos de 1.500 kg/ha. tanto si se asegura en Denominación de Origen, como fuera de ella.

    9/9/2014 Priorat pioneers celebrate 25 years | Articles | JancisRobinson.com FC Back to all articles Written by Ferran Centelles 9 Sep 2014 Priorat pioneers celebrate 25 years TASTING ARTICLES PRIORAT Those most closely involved in the extraordinary story of the revival of Priorat met in Barcelona last week to celebrate their 25th anniversary. (You can catch up with the story of how Priorat began to change from an almost abandoned corner of Catalunya to a prosperous and well-regarded wine region in Priorat - worth the money and in the Priorat entry in your online Oxford Companion). Five visionaries led by René Barbier (Clos Mogador) started almost from zero, sharing the same facility to produce what can be regarded as the first great contemporary Priorat wine in 1989. They were José Luis Perez (Clos Martinet), Daphne Glorian (Clos Erasmus), Álvaro Palacios (Finca Dofí, L’Ermita) and Carles Pastrana (Clos de l’Obac). Today they are all considered stellar producers worldwide. A commemorative lunch was organised at the outstanding Caelis restaurant in Barcelona. Sadly, just four of the five were present as Carles Pastrana declined to join the festivities. But the four remaining pioneers showed a fascinating miscellaneous tasting of their wines from different vintages and explained the evolution of their wines and the region. [Ferran's photo shows, left to right, Barbier, Perez, Glorian and http://www.jancisrobinson.com/articles/priorat-pioneers-celebrate-25-years 1/7 9/9/201w4 ines and the region.

  • The Realm of Ruedarueda
    PETER DRY The realm of RuedaRueda UEDA is one of the five Denominación de Origen (DO) wine regions in Castilla y R León (usually known as Castile in English). The name of the region is derived from castillo, the Spanish word for castle. Certainly the largest con- centration of castles in Spain can still be found here. In the 10th and 11th centuries, this was a battleground between the Peter Dry Moors and the Christians, and towns were fortified for pro- tection. However, most of the surviving castles in this region Vineyards of the World were built as palatial residences after the ‘Reconquest’ when there was no military purpose.

MONTSANT INFORMATION DOSSIER INTRODUCTION The D.O. Montsant (Designation of Origin or wine appellation), despite being a recently created wine appellation, has years of wine-making history to its name. Wine experts and press consider it to be an up and coming region and prestigious magazines such as “The Wine Spectator” have declared it to be “a great discovery”. The quality of Montsant wines is key to their success, as too is their great value for money. The prestigious Spanish wine guide, “Guia Peñin” agrees that “the quality of Montsant wines and their great prices make this region an excellent alternative.” In the United States, “Wine & Spirits” magazine have stated that “Montsant should be watched with interest”. Montsant wines appear in some of the most prestigious wine rankings in the World and they always tend to be the best priced amongst their rivals at the top of the list. The professionals and wineries behind the DO Montsant label are very enthusiastic. Many wineries are co-operatives with important social bases and the winemakers who make Montsant wines are often under 40 years old. We at the DO Montsant believe that youth, coupled with a solid wine-making tradition is synonymous of future, new ideas and risk-taking. To conclude, this is the DO Montsant today: a young wine appellation with a promising future ahead of it. 1 THE REGULATORY COUNCIL The wines of the DO Montsant are governed by the Regulatory council or body.
