Celebrating Rioja’s Unmatched Quality and Diversity

This year, Rioja reaffirms its place as Spain’s leading wine region, earning an incredible 773 international recognitions in June alone — more than any other Spanish Designation of Origin. From gold medals to top scores, Rioja’s wines continue to impress the world’s most respected wine competitions and publications.

There is no such thing as ‘tasting Rioja’ – better instead to think of tasting wines of the world with a Rioja flair

What Makes Rioja Stand Out?
According to Master of Wine Pedro Ballesteros, “If we combine quality and diversity, it is difficult to find another region that can offer as many excellent wines as Rioja.” From fresh whites and vibrant rosés to classic Tempranillo reds and new sparkling styles, Rioja is a region that rewards curious wine lovers with every sip.

As Rioja celebrates 100 years as Spain’s first Qualified Designation of Origin, these awards highlight the region’s balance of tradition and innovation — and why it remains a quality favorite for wine enthusiasts around the world.
