01 Nov Señoríos de Relleu, awarded 97 points in the 2026 Wine and Olive Oil Guide published by La Semana Vitivinícola
Our “1 Día de Cosecha” EVOO by Agatha Ruiz de la Prada has once again been ranked among the best extra virgin olive oils after scoring 97 points in La Semana Vitivinícola’s 2026 Wine and Olive Oil Guide, and has also been recognized as the best oil in its category.
The award was presented in Valencia during the launch event for the new edition of the Guide, which brought together some of the most prominent figures in the national wine and olive oil industry.
For Señoríos de Relleu, it is a great honor to be included in La Semana Vitivinícola’s Top 2026, sharing the spotlight with some of the highest-rated wines, sparkling wines, fortified wines, and olive oils in this edition.
97 points for our 1st Harvest Day
The publication particularly highlights the character and complexity of our 1 Día de Cosecha by Agatha Ruiz de la Prada, an extra virgin olive oil made from a careful selection of varieties such as Alfafarenca, Picual, and Changlot Real.
The tasting note published in the Guide describes it as:
“Intense and elegant. Clean green fruitiness. Green cherry tomato, Mediterranean herbs, oregano, olive, and brine. Bay leaf and artichoke heart. Green pepper and hazelnut. Distinctive on the palate, with firm bitterness and pronounced spiciness. A long finish with notes of the countryside and spices (ginger).”
A description that perfectly captures the character of this oil: an EVOO with personality, intensity, and balance, in which green and Mediterranean aromas blend with distinct bitterness and spiciness and a long, lingering finish.
A tribute to the work that begins in the olive grove
Behind every bottle of 1 Día de Cosecha lies a process that begins long before the olives arrive at our olive mill.
By carefully tending our olive groves, selecting the optimal harvest time, choosing the right varieties, ensuring a quick turnaround between harvest and pressing, and maintaining the highest level of control throughout the entire production process, we are able to bring out the fullest aromatic expression of our olives every harvest season.
It all begins in Relleu, in the interior of the province of Alicante, amid a Mediterranean landscape of olive groves nestled between mountains and terraced fields—a setting that gives our oils their unique character.
Quality and design combined in a single bottle
1 Día de Cosecha is also one of our most special extra virgin olive oils because of the combination of quality, terroir, innovation, and design.
Its design, created in collaboration with Agatha Ruiz de la Prada, makes the bottle a distinctive piece full of personality, but its contents are always the real star.
This latest recognition from *La Semana Vitivinícola* once again demonstrates that design and quality can go hand in hand, and that behind a unique presentation lies an EVOO crafted with the utmost care.
The 2026 Guide also devotes significant space to our olive oil within its pages and includes it in its Top 2026 Hall of Fame, with a score of 97 points.
We continue to take Relleu further and further
Receiving this award in Valencia was a particularly exciting moment for the entire Señoríos de Relleu team.
Each award serves as an incentive to continue working on what we have believed in since our inception: producing high-quality extra virgin olive oils that capture the essence of our region, our landscape, and our approach to olive cultivation.
We would like to share this new recognition with everyone who is part of Señoríos de Relleu—our customers, distributors, partners, visitors, and friends.
Thank you for joining us and for continuing to trust our extra virgin olive oils.
From Relleu, we continue working to spread the name of Alicante and the culture of extra virgin olive oil ever further afield.
