Most Spanish cult legends, like Vega Sicilia and La Rioja Alta, took generations to earn their exalted status among the Old World greats. Then there’s Artadi. They’re an upstart, a renegade, and by pioneering terroir-transparent reds, they’ve quickly become one of Spain’s most revered wineries—and their 94-point Viñas de Gaín is in keeping with every…
Ever since the explosive success of Spain’s First Growth Vega-Sicilia, Ribera del Duero has been ground zero for some of the country’s biggest and richest wines—and not just at the triple-digit price point. This 2017 Bela single-vineyard Ribera, an exciting project from Rioja’s legendary Cune, delivers mineral sophistication and dark polish at an unheard-of price—today…
When most wine lovers think of Rioja, they usually think of wine blended from grapes grown across various parts of the region, then aged in large American oak casks for years, until dusty, earthy flavors swell to a crescendo. Gomez de Segura’s Finca Raton shatters the mold. Made with techniques that would be familiar to…
When Michel Rolland arrived in Laguardia in 1985 to meet his first-ever Spanish client, he had no way of knowing that he was about to change Rioja forever. He shook hands with Jean Gervais, the new Director of Bodegas Palacio, which was one of a handful of Rioja bodegas founded prior to 1900 and a…
Fans of the legendary Artadi will fall in love with the phenomenal 95-point 2017 Bodegas Pujanza Finca Valdepoleo Rioja.

We’re excited to introduce you to the 2017 Rioja Vega Tempranillo, a wine so lush and complex, you’ll be reaching for it over your usual Old Vine Zinfandel or red blend every time you fire up the BBQ, or pull a hearty roast from the oven. We stumbled upon this delectable bottle by chance when our…
Tempranillo thrives in Ribera del Duero’s warm climate, and 2018 was an exceptional vintage—one of the warmest and driest in Spain’s history. That made the decision to produce a Tercera Generación easy for Alvides: They only produce it in the best years, and it was clear from the beginning of harvest that their most prized…
For 138 years, the legendary 100-point estate Cune has been synonymous with Rioja. Famous for their elegant expressions of Tempranillo, they were the first Spanish estate to land the #1 spot on Wine Spectator’s Top 100 list. When the historic house announced that it would be acquiring vineyards in Ribera del Duero, Spanish-wine watchers wondered:…
The 2018 Arrocal Selección Gumiel del Mercado Ribera del Duero is the exact kind of bottle that will leave you stunned—but in the best way possible. Deep, full bodied, and beautifully balanced, the wine was made from 45-year-old Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) vines from the Las Astrales Vineyard, which sits at an elevation of 2800 feet…
This might be one of the only wines we’ve ever encountered that costs so little yet possesses the old-vine ripeness and lavish power to go toe-to-toe with Napa’s big guns. The raw materials of this spectacular value—100-year-old vines and poor sandy soils that made this the only part of Spain to resist the phylloxera scourge—give…
The 2018 Bodegas Portia Prima La Encina is a marriage of one of Spain’s most revered producers and one of the country’s top terroirs. Every sip shows why Ribera del Duero is one of the most monumental red wine regions on the planet, and even earned 2012 Wine Region of the Year honors from Wine…
The Torres family have always been visionaries. In 1979, when Rioja was the only Spanish wine of note, their Cabernet-based Gran Coronas triumphed in a blind tasting over major Grand Cru Classé Bordeaux. They also saw the potential of the Russian River Valley long before most in California, establishing Marimar Estate in 1986. And then…
Seriously deep. Intense. Opulent. No wines from the European continent fit that description better than those from Ribera del Duero. Ripened to perfection in the unrelenting sun, boosted by vibrant acidity from the cool nights, and cloaked in toasted oak, these inky Tempranillo blockbusters challenge Rioja and Priorat for Spanish supremacy—and Napa Valley for pure…
He swore that one of Madrid’s great wine bars was just a few steps away. But at almost midnight, passing through a narrow street with graffiti-covered walls and a lone apotheke sign glowing in the distance, we were getting a bit skeptical. Sure enough, about halfway down the street, the graffiti-covered wall gave way to…
For 138 years, the legendary 100-point estate CVNE has been synonymous with Rioja. Famous for their elegant expressions of Tempranillo, they were the first Spanish winery to land the #1 spot on Wine Spectator’s Top 100. When the historic house announced that it would be acquiring vineyards in Ribera del Duero, Spanish-wine watchers wondered: Could…
Iconic producer. Outstanding vintage. And the critical praise to back it all up. The 2019 CVNE Imperial Reserva Rioja checks every box. CVNE only crafts Imperial bottlings in exceptional years—and 2019 was a near-perfect harvest, “a memorable year in the history of Rioja wine,” according to the technical director of the Denominación de Origen Calificada…
We can’t get enough of the full-throttle power and savory, spicy seduction of Ribera del Duero’s famed reds. Too often, though, it involves shelling out triple-digit prices for flagship wines like Vega Sicilia and Pingus. Enter the 2019 Dominio de Atauta La Celestina Crianza. Grown in a vintage the Regulatory Board of the Ribera del…
It’s no surprise that this kind of value comes from Bodegas Olarra. Founded in 1973, they’ve been a mainstay in the subzone of La Rioja for nearly half a century, turning out top-flight reds from their striking winery, which sits across the winding Ebro River from the picturesque town of Logroño. You can’t talk about…
Mariano Garcia is one of Spain’s unassailable icons. During his 30 years at Vega Sicilia, the winery grew from a regional notable to the TOWERING icon we know today. His $150 Aalto reds are highly coveted, and wines like his 1968 Vega Sicilia Unico Gran Reserva—the first vintage he made—now trade for $2,500. In 2020,…
Peter Sisseck’s Pingus burst on the scene in 1995. Ribera del Duero has never been the same.

Parker called it “one of the greatest and most exciting wines I…
