Wine & Spirits Magazine Top 100

Raise a glass! We are proud to announce three wineries from the region of Rioja earned coveted spots on the Wine & Spirits “Top 100 Wineries” list. Congratulations to centenarian Rioja wineries, Marqués de Murrieta, Muga, and R. López de Heredia!

Each year, Wine & Spirits selects its “Top 100 Wineries” via a two-step, blind-tasting process. This year, Rioja wineries represented three of the seven Spanish wineries named to this year’s Top 100 list, the most of any region from Spain.

Please join us in congratulating these exceptional Rioja wineries and their fellow honorees.
