Gueridón de Oro Award ex aequo to Almudena Alberca and Sara Pérez

The Gueridón de Oro de Gastronomika, which recognises outstanding achievements in the world of wine, is being shared for the first time by two of the most important women in the sector: oenologists Almudena Alberca and Sara Pérez.
Almudena Alberca MW became the first female Master of Wine in Spain in August 2018, and is currently the only female representative among the four MWs in Spain. She has worked at boutique wineries such as Viñas del Cenit (D.O. Tierra del Vino de Zamora) and Dominio de Atauta (D.O. Ribera del Duero). She has also worked for the Entrecanales Domeqc Group's family wineries, creating wines that have received high acclaim from specialist critics.
Sara Pérez is the daughter of a generation that redefined viticulture in Priorat. An advocate of organic farming and the role of women in the wine industry, she is the oenologist behind the Mas Martinet and Venus La Universal wineries. For her, winemaking is a cultural and personal act in which one must listen to the land and be prepared to take risks. She is a renowned oenologist who is recognised for her commitment to organic and sustainable viticulture.
