Sergio Ávila, enólogo de Cruz de Alba, ha sido reconocido por el Master of Wine Tim Atkin como “Viticultor del Año” en su esperado informe anual Ribera del Duero 2025 consolidando así su papel como referente de la viticultura biodinámica en la Denominación de Origen.

The incorporation of Godeval reinforces the group’s strategic coherence in its commitment to premium white wines, adding the godello variety—one of the most promising—to its portfolio alongside verdejo (Ramón Bilbao) and albariño (Mar de Frades). Godeval’s founding family remains part of the project, ensuring the continuity of the legacy, expertise, and authenticity that have made the winery an icon of the Valdeorras Denomination of Origin.

Following the recent celebration of its centenary, Ramón Bilbao reaches a new milestone: being named among the 50 most admired wine brands in the world for the seventh consecutive year.
