The organic wine Leda Viñas Viejas 2020, from Leda Wineries, has reached the podium at the 2024 Wine & Spirits Awards, winning the Grand Gold medal. Specifically, the competition awarded 96 points to this wine, produced by Bodegas Leda in Tudela de Duero, Valladolid, classified as Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León.
With this award, the jury highlights the work carried out by the Leda Wineries team, recognizing it as a wine that embodies the principles of the Valladolid-based winery: producing multi-terroir wines from organic vineyards spread across the Duero Valley, aged between 70 and 100 years, with varying microclimates and harvest dates.
Leda Viñas Viejas 2020 is a certified organic, multi-terroir wine, of which 15,473 bottles were produced in this vintage—a very limited production aimed at creating a wine with unique personality and characteristics. This award recognizes the work of the entire winery team in 2020, a year marked by irregular weather, in which healthy grapes with good yields, structure, and color were nonetheless achieved thanks to careful vineyard load management and the natural regulation of the old vines.
The work in the vineyard and winery, with 23 months of aging in new French, American, and Spanish oak barrels, resulted in a wine of intense cherry-red color, with aromas of dark fruit such as blackberry and blueberry, notes of sweet and balsamic spices, along with toasted and hazelnut nuances that give it great complexity. It is balanced, silky, and elegant attributes that have elevated it to the top of the 2024 Wine & Spirits Awards.
The international competition also awarded two Gold medals and 92 points to two other Masaveu Wineries wines: Fillaboa 2023, an Albariño white wine from the Rías Baixas denomination of origin, produced by Fillaboa Wineries, and VS Murua 2021, a red wine from the Rioja qualified denomination of origin, produced by Murua Wineries.
These recognitions add to other successes achieved by Masaveu Wineries’ wines in recent editions of the most important national and international competitions, positioning the winery group as one of the leading references in Spain. This includes, for example, the success of La Fillaboa 1898 2016 in the latest edition of the Guía Peñín, which received 100 points, and the excellent score awarded by Decanter magazine to Veguín de Murua Gran Reserva 2025, granting it 96 points.
About Masaveu Wineries
The Masaveu family began investing in the winemaking sector in 1974, when they acquired Bodegas Murua, but the family’s vineyard plantings date back to the mid-19th century, specifically in Castellar del Vallés, where the family originates and where Federico Masaveu Rivell started the steps that a century later would be continued by his descendants.
Since then, Masaveu Wineries has grown steadily with a strong commitment to quality in the production of its wines across different DOs, embracing an ecological philosophy and utmost respect for the land, where it owns its own vineyards, allowing them to convey the unique personality of each terroir in every bottle. In this way, all of Masaveu Wineries projects across different parts and regions of the country come together under a common denominator: Murua (DOCa. Rioja), Fillaboa (DO. Rías Baixas), Pagos de Araiz (DO. Navarra), Leda (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León), and Valverán (Asturias).
