''I was fortunate to visit a handfull of Grandes Pagos members in 2017. In my opinion, the producers in the Grandes Pagos are among the finest producers in Spain and deliver top quality wines on all levels in all the regions they are present. Spain is one of the most exiting wine countries today and Grandes Pagos is a key factor in the ongoing revolution in quality with  exploration of unique terroirs, focus on vineyard expressions and grape material, as well as the human factor with talented winemakers who use both modern and traditional techniques to achieve their goals.''
