Context
Spain commands the global stage this summer. Rioja is meeting that moment at Mercado Little Spain — José Andrés’s flagship Spanish food hall at Hudson Yards — with a lineup built to show the full range of the appellation to a trade audience that knows the difference.
Nine wines across all three subzones, five color and style categories, and a cross-section of producers from historic bodegas to newer-generation growers. The selection maps the modern Rioja conversation — from unoaked Alavesa Tempranillo to classic American-oak Reserva — with food pairing context drawn from Mercado’s menu.
