The wine sales from the D.O. were progressing.
The D.O. Ribeira Sacra is holding the Assembly of the CECRV
On the 16th and 17th of April the Wine Regulatory Bodies of Spain will meet at the Denominación de Origen Ribeira Sacra. For the President of the C.R.D.O.R.S., José Manuel RodrÃguez, it is very important to be hosting this event. At the Assembly there will be 35 Regulatory Bodies, out of the 50 that adhere to the C.E.C.R.V. And there will be around a hundred people participating who for two days will get the opportunity to know more about the Ribeira Sacra. It will be one of the most well-attended of the assemblies that are held by C.E.C.R.V. every six months,and according to José Manuel RodrÃguez, this is an indication that there is beginning to be great interest in the Ribeira Sacra especially within the Spanish sector of the market. For the President of the C.R.D.O.R.S., the Assembly should increase awareness of the area and serve to promote, not only the wine, but also the region.
During these two days participants will have an opportunity to see some of the highlights of the Ribeira Sacra, the Ribeira Sacra Wine Centre and Santiago de Compostela, where the participants will go on the morning of the 17th, in order to take the opportunity to enjoy the celebrations for the Year of Saint James.
The Assembly programme was outlined by José Manuel RodrÃguez at a press conference, and he took this opportunity to explain how the wine sales from the D.O. were progressing. At the current time they are selling more bottles of wine than in the previous year, around 1,400,000 litres. The trend is towards a growth in sales and stability.
