THE PRODUCER
Pago de los Abuelos is a personal venture by Nacho Alvarez, deeply rooted in the
Bierzo wine region of Spain. This winery is a tribute to his grandparents, who
originally cultivated the land. Specializing in indigenous varietals like Mencia
and Godello, Nacho revitalized the vineyards with meticulous care, producing his
first vintage in 2018. The estate emphasizes organic farming practices, hand
harvesting, and minimal intervention, aiming to express the unique terroir of
their 6-hectare estate through their wines.

CRITICS SCORES
We choose our wines based on a range of criteria(seehow we choose our wines)of
which critic scores is justone. Rather than simply highlight the best score to
promote a wine, our average critic score is calculated from the scores provided
by several respected wine critics, who we follow for specific regions. They do
not represent all critic scores and, wherever possible, we try and give more
weight to more recent reviews. Where appropriate we consider market-based scores
like Global Wine Score or Wine Searcher Average scores.

As a rule, we look to offer wines that achieve a92/100average critic score or
better and frankly a lot of very good wines simply don’t make the cut. As a
high-end provider we want to reflect that positioning in the quality of wines we
offer. Such wines are only a tiny fraction of those generally on offer in the
market. We believe that an average score is a more conservative and
representative approach, but it is still subjective and only offered as a guide
to our customers, who will (and should) do their own research. We will add
individual critic scores to our website in the future.
