Parker Points: discover award-winning wines at Bouquet Xaló
🏅 What are Parker Points?
Parker Points are the ratings given by The Wine Advocate magazine, founded by American critic Robert Parker, who for years was considered the world's wine guru.
Parker and his team of professional tasters rate wines on a scale of 50 to 100, evaluating aspects such as:
- Fruit quality
- Balance
- Aromatic and gustatory complexity
- Longevity
- Personality and authenticity
📈 Parker Scale:
- 96 – 100 points: Exceptional, a world-class reference wine.
- 90 – 95 points: Outstanding, a wine above average.
- 85 – 89 points: Very good, balanced and pleasant.
- 80 – 84 points: Good, correct, without flaws.

🌍 Much more than points
At Bouquet Xaló, we value Parker points, but we believe that a wine is not defined solely by its score.
We are also guided by emotion, origin, respect for the land, and the story behind each bottle.
That's why, alongside these great award-winning wines, you'll find small local gems — perhaps without Parker scores, but with an authenticity that's just as, if not more, exciting.
