The organic wine Leda Viñas Viejas (Old Vineyards) 2020, by Bodegas (Wineries) Leda, stepped onto the podium of the international Wine Spirits Awards 2024 in their latest edition by winning the Grand Gold medal. Specifically, the competition awarded 96 points to this wine elaborated by Bodegas Leda in the Valladolid town of Tudela de Duero, which is a Wine from the Land of Castile and Leon (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y Leon).
With this award, the jury recognises the work carried out by the Leda Wineries team, as this is a wine that represents the principles embodied by the Valladolid winery, which are: to produce multi-terroir wines from organic vineyards spread throughout the Duero Valley that are between 70 and 100 years old and have different microclimates and ripening dates.
Leda Viñas Viejas 2020 is a certified organic multi-terroir wine of which 15,473 bottles have been produced this year, very limited production, in search of a wine with unique personality and characteristics. This award recognises the work carried out by the entire winery team in the year 2020, a year marked by irregular weather in which, nevertheless, healthy grapes were obtained with good yields, good structure and colour thanks to the control of the grapevine load and the proper management of the old vineyards.
The work in the vineyard and in the winery, with 23-month ageing in new French, American and Spanish oak barrels, resulted in a wine with an intense cherry-red colour, aroma of black fruit, such as blackberry and blueberry, hints of sweet spices and balsamic notes, together with toasted and hazelnut nuances that give it a great complexity, make it balanced, silky and elegant, attributes that have raised it to the top of the Wine Spirits Awards 2024.
The international competition has also awarded two Gold medals and 92 points to two other Masaveu Bodegas wines: Fillaboa 2023, a white Albariño wine from the designation of origin Rías Baixas, elaborated by Bodegas Fillaboa, and VS Murua 2021, a red wine elaborated by Bodegas Murua in the designation of origin Rioja.
These awards were added to other victories achieved by Masaveu Bodegas wines in recent editions of the most important national and international competitions in the sector, which position the winery group as one of the benchmarks in our country. This is the case, for example, of the success achieved by La Fillaboa 1898 2016 in the latest edition of the Guía Peñín (Guide), with 100 points, and of the excellent score awarded by Decanter magazine to Veguín de Murua Gran Reserva 2025 by awarding it 96 points.
About Masaveu Family Wineries
The Masaveu family began to invest in the wine sector in 1974, when it acquired Bodegas Murua, but the family’s vineyard plantations date back to the mid-19th century, specifically in Castellar del Vallés, where the family originated and where Federico Masaveu Rivell began the work that his descendants would continue a century later.
Since then, Masaveu Bodegas have been growing, with a firm commitment to quality in the production of their wines in different designations of origin and to the ecological philosophy they exemplify, with utmost respect for the land where they own their vineyards, thanks to which they manage to transmit, in each bottle, the unique personality of each terroir. In this manner, each and every one of the projects Masaveu Bodegas in different parts and regions of the country are united under a common denominator: Murua (DOCa. /qualified designation of origin/ Rioja), Fillaboa (DO. /designation of origin/ Rías Baixas), Pagos de Araiz (DO. Navarra), Leda (Wine from the Land of Castilla y León) and Valverán (Asturias).
