“Bodegas Barbadillo is one of the most iconic and historic wineries in Jerez de la Frontera, founded in 1821 by Benigno Barbadillo. With over two centuries of history, the winery has become an undisputed benchmark for Sherry wines and a pioneer in the revival of still white wines from the Marco de Jerez. Its most widely recognised wine is Castillo de San Diego, one of Spain's best-selling white wines for decades, crafted from the Palomino Fino grape. Yet Barbadillo's reputation extends across its full range of fortified wines: Manzanilla, Fino, Amontillado, Oloroso, Palo Cortado and Cream, all produced using the traditional criaderas y soleras system, which allows wines to undergo biological or oxidative ageing over many years — sometimes decades. Among its most acclaimed labels is Manzanilla Solear, one of the most prestigious Manzanillas from Sanlúcar de Barrameda, aged under a veil of flor yeast in cellars close to the Guadalquivir river. The winery also produces highly sought-after limited releases such as Manzanilla en Rama Solear, prized by connoisseurs for its raw freshness and unfiltered character. Barbadillo owns vineyards in Pago Balbaína and other key zones within the Marco de Jerez, working with native varieties including Palomino Fino, Pedro Ximénez and Moscatel. The winery's philosophy blends deep respect for centuries-old Jerez tradition with a commitment to innovation and the promotion of Sherry wines in both domestic and international markets. At Mercado 46, we offer a carefully curated selection of Bodegas Barbadillo wines, available to order online with delivery across Europe.”

“Bodegas César Florido is one of the most singular and enduring references in the Jerez wine region. Founded in 1887 in Chipiona, it is the oldest winery in the town and one of the most historic in the entire area. Yet the family's connection to viticulture stretches even further back, to the 18th century, with each generation passing down the tradition uninterrupted to César Florido, the sixth generation at the helm of this independent family estate. What truly sets this winery apart is its unwavering commitment to artisanal winemaking at a time when industrial processes have reshaped much of the region's production. César Florido presses his own must from family-owned vineyards, relies on native yeasts for fermentation, and has been bottling at the winery since 1988. This meticulous, tradition-driven approach yields wines of remarkable personality, faithfully expressing the climate and heritage of Chipiona in every glass. Moscatel is, without question, the house's defining wine. The Moscatel Dorado, a benchmark for classic sweet wines of the area, offers aromas of orange blossom and jasmine with a palate where honey and raisins meet elegant structure. The Moscatel Especial incorporates arrope — must slowly reduced over heat — after fermentation, adding further layers of flavour and texture. Together with the Moscatel de Pasas, these three wines form a celebrated trilogy that has earned numerous international awards and elevated César Florido to cult status among the world's most discerning wine lovers. Beyond moscatel, the winery produces small-batch examples of the full range of wines native to the region: Fino, Manzanilla, Cream, Oloroso and Amontillado, with the latter two regarded as among the finest of their kind. All wines are protected under the Jerez-Xérès-Sherry and Manzanilla-Sanlúcar de Barrameda Denominations of Origin.”

“Bodegas Cosme Palacio is a historic winery founded in 1894 in the heart of one of the world's most celebrated wine regions, Rioja. With over a century of winemaking heritage, the winery has seamlessly blended classic Riojan traditions with a contemporary commitment to quality and authentic expression of terroir. Rooted in the Rioja Alavesa subzone, Cosme Palacio focuses primarily on Tempranillo, the emblematic grape variety of the region, alongside other native varieties that add complexity and depth to its wines. Great attention is given to vineyard management, with old-vine plots that yield concentrated, characterful fruit with remarkable structure. Among the winery's most celebrated labels, the classic Cosme Palacio wines stand out as benchmarks of the Riojan style — beautifully balanced between ripe fruit, elegance, and well-integrated oak. Their Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva wines are aged in a combination of American and French oak barrels, developing nuances of vanilla, spice, and toasted notes while retaining the freshness and vitality that define great Rioja. Throughout its long history, Bodegas Cosme Palacio has evolved under different stewardships, each contributing to enrich its legacy while preserving its founding spirit. Today, the winery stands as a respected name within the Rioja Denominación de Origen, with a strong international presence and a loyal following among wine enthusiasts who value authenticity and tradition. Exploring the wines of Bodegas Cosme Palacio means discovering the very soul of classic Rioja — where time, craftsmanship, and passion are bottled into every vintage for an unforgettable tasting experience.”

“Bodegas Inurrieta was established in 1999 with the planting of its first vineyards in Falces, in the heart of the Ribera Alta area of Navarra. Yet its roots run far deeper: the Antoñana family carries over a century of winemaking heritage, and the name Inurrieta pays homage to the land where their ancestors cultivated vines nearly a hundred years ago, a tribute to the generations that came before. The winery's defining philosophy is unequivocal: be a winegrower first and a winemaker second. This translates into absolute control over raw materials, with 275 hectares of estate vineyards surrounding the winery — a unique achievement in Navarra. These vineyards lie within a microvalley crossed by the Arga river, featuring three distinct soil types at elevations ranging from 300 to 500 metres above sea level, lending the wines a complexity and character that are authentically Navarran. The grape varieties cultivated include Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Garnacha, Graciano, Syrah and Merlot. Inurrieta is a pioneer in Navarra for Sauvignon Blanc, having introduced it on an experimental basis; it is now an authorised variety within D.O. Navarra, largely thanks to the outstanding wines the winery has produced from it. A certain transgressive spirit — an eagerness to forge new paths — runs through the entire portfolio: from the crisp Inurrieta Orchidea to the singular Laderas de Inurrieta — a 100% Graciano awarded Double Gold at the SAKURA Japan Women's Wine Awards — along with Altos de Inurrieta Reserva, Inurrieta Norte, Inurrieta Sur, Inurrieta Coral, Inurrieta Mediodía, Inurrieta Mimao, Inurrieta Puro Vicio and Inurrieta Orchidea Cuvée. The winery has earned numerous international accolades, including nine awards at the CWSA in China — four of them gold medals — and gold medals at Mundus Vini 2019, cementing its status as one of D.O. Navarra's most innovative producers.”

“Pago de los Capellanes is a family winery founded in 1996 by Paco Rodero and Concha Villa, located in Pedrosa de Duero in the heart of the Ribera del Duero Denominación de Origen. Its name recalls a history dating back to the 14th century, when the chaplains of the Church of Santa María del Campo received these lands as payment for their religious services, connecting the winery to an extraordinarily deep cultural and agricultural legacy. The winemaking philosophy at Pago de los Capellanes is rooted in the utmost respect for the land and tradition, with artisanal and personalised care given to each individual plot. Production is deliberately kept below the levels permitted by the Ribera del Duero Regulatory Council, ensuring exceptional quality in every vintage. The winery works exclusively with the Tinto Fino variety — Tempranillo — and produces between 800,000 and 950,000 bottles per year. Among its most celebrated wines is the Crianza, a blend from 18 different plots aged for 12 months in new oak barrels, named one of the 100 best wines in the world by the prestigious Wine & Spirits magazine, which also ranked the winery among the 100 best wineries in the world. The Parcela El Nogal, sourced from six hectares of sandy-loam soils, delivers an opulent and enveloping style, while Parcela El Picón is regarded as the estate's wine with the greatest bottle-ageing potential. Additionally, their wine «Un Sueño en las Alturas 2020» was awarded best red wine of the year at the Premios Alimentos de España. In 2014, the family expanded their winemaking project with the launch of the O Luar do Sil brand in the Valdeorras Denominación de Origen, specialising in white wines made from Godello, with their own winery in Larouco operational since 2016.”

“Bodegas Pirineos stands as one of the cornerstones of the Somontano Protected Designation of Origin, nestled in the heart of the Aragonese Pyrenees. Its history traces back to 1964, when the Cooperativa Comarcal de Somontano del Sobrarbe brought together the region's winegrowers and laid the foundations of what would become this prestigious appellation. The winery itself was formally established in 1993, inheriting that cooperative legacy and channelling it into a new era of winemaking excellence. In 2007, Grupo Barbadillo acquired 76% of its shares, integrating Bodegas Pirineos into one of Spain's most robust wine groups while preserving its deep-rooted connection to the land. Today, Bodegas Pirineos accounts for approximately 20% of total D.O. Somontano production, managing over 700 hectares of vineyards spread across 700 plots in 15 different villages, with more than 200 grape growers contributing to the project. This remarkable territorial presence allows the winery to work with both internationally renowned varieties such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Gewürztraminer, and indigenous grapes of great enological value like Moristel, the emblematic variety that defines Somontano's singular identity. Among its most celebrated ranges are Señorío de Lazán, regarded as one of the founding wines of the region; Alquézar; Marboré; and the 3404 range, which includes a white from Chardonnay and Gewürztraminer, a rosé from Tempranillo and Cabernet, and a red and a crianza crafted from Cabernet, Merlot, Garnacha and Moristel with twelve months of barrel ageing. Its wines have earned top international recognition: Gold Medal at Mundus Vini 2020 for the 3404 Tinto, 90 points in the Guía Peñín 2021 for the Chardonnay and Gewürztraminer single-varietal whites, and Gold Medal at Chardonnays du Monde for the 2022 vintage. The winery also holds the RSA certification for Social Responsibility in Aragon, renewed annually since 2021, reflecting its firm commitment to sustainability and future generations.”

“Bodegas Vega Sicilia stands as one of the most legendary names in Spanish wine, with origins dating back to 1864, when Eloy Lecanda founded the estate in Valbuena de Duero, within the Ribera del Duero Denominación de Origen (province of Valladolid, Castilla y León). Lecanda introduced prestigious French varieties that coexisted with the local tempranillo — then known as tinto aragonés — laying the foundation for a truly singular style. The Herrero family took ownership in 1890, and in 1982 the Álvarez family acquired the estate, propelling the group to international acclaim. The philosophy of Vega Sicilia is built on a demanding premise: the finest wine is always the one yet to be made. This relentless pursuit of excellence translates into an extraordinary patience in winemaking, with extended ageing in barrel and bottle that can span decades depending on the vintage. The flagship wine, Único, is released with ten years of ageing and has proven an unparalleled capacity for cellaring, placing it among the world's greatest wines. The Único Reserva Especial, a blend of three different vintages, represents the rarest and most sought-after expression from the estate. In 1986, the Álvarez family conceived a distinct project within the same group: Bodegas Alión, also in Ribera del Duero, whose first vintage reached the market in 1995. Alión embodies a more contemporary vision — more approachable in style, with shorter ageing, and distanced from the classicism of the parent winery. Its debut vintage earned a place in Wine Spectator's Top 100, and it has achieved scores of 96 Parker points and 95 points in the Peñín Guide. Today, the Vega Sicilia Group also encompasses Bodegas Pintia (Toro), Benjamin de Rothschild & Vega Sicilia, and Tokaj-Oremus (Hungary), cementing its position as one of Spain's most prestigious and financially robust wine groups.”

“Pago de Aylés is a family-owned winery located in Aylés, Aragon, with a history stretching back to the 12th century, when Cistercian monks began cultivating these lands after receiving them from Alfonso II in 1165. For five centuries, the estate passed through the hands of the Aragonese nobility, with Blasco Fernández de Heredia being the first secular owner. In 1994, the Ramón family acquired and reunified these historic lands, launching an ambitious agri-food project that would transform Pago de Aylés into one of the three largest historic private estates in Aragon, spanning over 3,100 hectares. The winery was inaugurated in 2000, equipped with more than 500 barrels, predominantly French oak. In October 2010, Pago de Aylés was officially recognised as a Vino de Pago, becoming the first Vino de Pago in Aragon and one of the few in Spain to hold this exclusive Denomination of Origin — considered the highest level of quality a Spanish winery can achieve. The estate also produces wines under the DOP Cariñena designation, including the Aldeya and Demba ranges. The winery's philosophy centres on the pursuit of viticultural excellence from vineyard to bottle. They practise sustainable viticulture, currently in the process of organic certification, with yields carefully restricted to 34 hectolitres per hectare. Harvesting takes place at night to preserve the terroir and the full aromatic potential of the grapes. Among the most celebrated wines is «S» de Aylés, a single-varietal Garnacha that was awarded Best Wine of Spain in 2018. Equally remarkable is «L» de Pago, the only rosé Vino de Pago in Spain. The estate also crafts parcel-specific wines such as Senda de Leñadores. Its environmental stewardship has led the European Union to include the estate in the Natura 2000 network as a Special Protection Area for Birds.”

“Bodega Buen Camino is a family winery with deep roots in Tórtoles de Esgueva, in the heart of Burgos, within the Ribera del Duero Denominación de Origen. Its story dates back to 1887, when grandfather Feliciano first crafted wine in the old family house, laying the foundation for a tradition that today is carried forward by Javier Vallejo and his two sons, Jorge and Javi. They have expanded the winery's facilities while preserving the artisanal spirit that has always defined it. One of Buen Camino's most distinctive features is the location of its vineyards: the most northerly in the entire appellation. Spread across 18 hectares around Tórtoles de Esgueva, this extreme terroir is shaped by poor, stony, limestone-based soils, slopes with varying sun exposures, clay-sandy gradients, and a plateau at 950 metres above sea level, all subject to persistent winds that lend the wines a unique and unmistakable character. The winery operates under certified organic viticulture, committed to manual processes and limited productions that faithfully reflect the character of each plot. The main variety is Tempranillo, complemented by Garnacha and Albillo, with a minimal-intervention philosophy aimed at preserving the genuine aromatic expression of the terroir. Among its most notable wines, Buen Camino is crafted from the finest grapes selected across the different vineyards, featuring cold pre-fermentation maceration and ageing in French and American oak barrels. Guademeya is the winery's most exclusive offering, sourced from the most north-westerly plot in the entire DO, fermented in small vats and aged in new French oak barrels. Buen Camino Noroeste, meanwhile, is the freshest wine in the range, with a light barrel ageing that highlights the fruit and the altitude of the terroir. Buen Camino is a winery deeply committed to wine culture and rural life, producing signature wines that honestly express the soul of one of Ribera del Duero's most singular corners.”

“Colección La Poda is an avant-garde wine collection presented by Grupo Bodegas Palacio 1894, one of the top twenty wine groups in Spain with over 125 years of experience in the ageing and production of high-quality wines. The collection was officially launched in Madrid on 19 February 2018 and originates within Bodegas y Viñedos Anzil, located in the Denominación de Origen Toro, one of the four wineries that make up Grupo Bodegas Palacio 1894. Behind La Poda stands Almudena Alberca, technical director of Bodegas Viña Mayor and the first Spanish woman to obtain the prestigious Master of Wine title — a guarantee of rigour and excellence that permeates every reference in the collection. The philosophy of Colección La Poda pays tribute to the art of viticulture. The name itself evokes that fundamental vineyard task: rigorous pruning and careful selection in the field are the tools used to obtain exceptional quality clusters for crafting honest, expressive wines. The grapes come from selected vineyards where a continental climate and stony soils contribute to the concentration and typicity of each variety. The collection spans four distinct denominations of origin — Rías Baixas, Rueda, Ribera del Duero and Toro — and comprises four monovarietal references: La Poda Albariño, La Poda Sauvignon Blanc, La Poda Tempranillo and La Poda Tinta de Toro. The latter, crafted from Tinta de Toro sourced from estate vineyards over 40 years old, faithfully expresses the typicity of the variety and the strong, characterful territory of Toro. Aged for between 4 and 6 months in barrel, it achieves a fine balance between elegance, fruit and varietal expression, resulting in a rich, spiced and vibrant red wine. Grupo Bodegas Palacio 1894 manages over 930 hectares of vineyards and produces 15 million bottles annually, of which 40% is exported to international markets, earning widespread recognition from national and international critics alike.”

“Covides Viñedos y Bodegas was founded in 1963 through the collective vision of more than 600 winegrowers in the Penedès region, who joined forces to produce quality wines cooperatively, leaving behind domestic winemaking and animal traction in favour of mechanisation and modern techniques. Today, with around 650 active members cultivating approximately 1,900 hectares spread across more than 50 municipalities in Alt and Baix Penedès and Garraf, Covides has established itself as the leading first-degree wine cooperative in Catalonia by volume, with an annual harvest of around 24 million kilograms of grapes. The winery operates two main facilities —in Sant Cugat Sesgarrigues and Sant Sadurní d'Anoia— and a state-of-the-art cellar expanded in 2005 with a capacity of 7.5 million bottles. The winemaking philosophy centres on sustainability, respect for the vineyard and a passion for excellence: only free-run juice from the first pressing fraction —known as «mosto flor»— is used, alongside pneumatic presses, stainless steel tanks, temperature-controlled fermentation, skin maceration and continuous cold stabilisation. The key varieties are the native Catalan grapes Macabeo, Xarel·lo and Parellada, complemented by Chardonnay for whites and cavas, and Tempranillo, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon for reds. The rosé cava is crafted exclusively from Trepat, a grape variety indigenous to Catalonia. All wines and cavas fall under the Penedès and Cava Denominations of Origin. Among its most notable ranges is Duc de Foix, a premium line with an elegant, timeless Mediterranean design, alongside a collection inspired by the Castellers —the human towers of Catalan tradition— symbolising teamwork as the cornerstone of great wine. Some 25% of total production is bottled, 65% of which is exported to around 30 countries. Covides wines and cavas have earned recognition at prestigious international competitions including the International Wine Challenge, the Decanter World Wine Awards and the China Wine and Spirits Awards.”

“Domaine Schieferkopf was established in 2009 when Michel Chapoutier, the celebrated vigneron from the Rhône Valley, set his sights on Alsace with the ambition of crafting great rieslings. Together with four like-minded friends, he acquired 8 hectares of vineyards in the commune of Bernardvillé, planted on the only seam of blue schist in the entire Alsace region. The first bottles did not reach the market until 2011, marking the official debut of the domaine's wines. The name Schieferkopf, meaning 'slate roof', speaks directly to the exceptional terroir that defines these wines. The blue schist soils, complemented by touches of sandstone, are cultivated on steep and demanding hillsides, imparting a distinctive mineral character and refined elegance to every wine produced. The estate works exclusively under organic farming, fully aligned with the philosophy of Maison M. Chapoutier, a pioneer in biodynamic viticulture and a steadfast advocate for expressing the full potential of each terroir. The domaine's range is anchored by Riesling, with five wines including three single-vineyard parcel selections. Its most emblematic cuvées include the Riesling Lieu-dit Berg, Pinot Gris Schieferkopf, and Gewurztraminer, all distinguished by their freshness, elegance, and terroir-driven character. Beyond Alsace, the domaine also produces wines from exceptional vineyard sites in the German regions of Baden, Franken, and Pfalz. Domaine Schieferkopf is part of the M. Chapoutier group, a family-owned maison with roots in the Rhône Valley dating back to 1808 and holder of a world record for 100/100 scores awarded by critic Robert Parker. Its recognition as a new entry in the Bettane et Desseauve Guide further confirms the international standing of this outstanding Alsatian project.”

“Ferraton Père & Fils is a historic wine estate founded in 1946 by Jean Örens Ferraton in the heart of Tain l'Hermitage, in the Northern Rhône Valley. Its humble origins began with a plot of just 0.3 hectares in Hermitage, from which the family patiently built a project of great prestige. In the late 1960s, Michel Ferraton expanded the domaine's vineyards within the Hermitage appellation, consolidating the estate's reputation. In the 1990s, the family partnership was formalised under the name Ferraton Père & Fils, and in 1998 a decisive milestone occurred: an alliance with Michel Chapoutier, who provided technical expertise and financial support to undertake the transition to organic and, subsequently, biodynamic viticulture. In 2004, Chapoutier acquired the company in full, though the estate continues to operate independently under the direction of Samuel Ferraton, preserving its own identity and philosophy. Biodynamics is the soul of Ferraton Père & Fils. All the domaine's vineyards are managed in harmony with lunar rhythms and natural cycles, without synthetic chemicals, with the aim of preserving soil vitality and faithfully expressing the terroir of each individual parcel. Syrah is the signature variety of their reds, offering aromas of dark fruit, violet, spices and leather, with elegant tannins and an extraordinary ageing potential. Their whites, crafted from Marsanne and Roussanne, combine floral notes, minerality and richness. Among their most acclaimed cuvées are the Hermitage "Le Méal", produced from old-vine Syrah on steep granitic hillside soils, the Crozes-Hermitage "La Matinière" and the Saint-Joseph Blanc "La Source". The estate produces wines across prestigious appellations including Hermitage, Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, Cornas, Saint-Joseph, Crozes-Hermitage, Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Côtes du Rhône. Their wines boast over 100 references awarded more than 90 points by critics such as Parker and Wine Spectator.”

“Champagne Haton is one of the most deeply rooted family houses in the Champagne region, with viticultural origins dating back to 1610 when François Haton acquired the first parcels in Damery under the reign of Louis XIII. However, it was in 1928 that Octave Haton truly established the winery as a producing estate, beginning to vinify his own champagnes and setting the foundation for the house as we know it today. Under the stewardship of his heir René Haton, the house experienced a remarkable rise in the 1970s, and today it is Jean-Noël Haton and his son Sébastien — the third and fourth generations — who lead production across 60 hectares of vineyards, 45 of which are family-owned, spread across six emblematic villages in the Marne Valley: Damery, Hautvillers, Cumières, Boursault, Fleury la Rivière, and Vauciennes. The philosophy of the house follows the motto of founder Octave Haton: "Perfection requires mastery of every detail. It is the expression of the whole that makes an exceptional Champagne." Guided by this principle, Jean-Noël and Sébastien work with traditional and meticulous methods: respect for the soil, controlled yields, pursuit of optimal ripeness, and parcel-by-parcel vinification, always driven by a quest for excellence. Among their most celebrated cuvées is the Cuvée Classic, crafted from 60% Pinot Meunier and 40% Pinot Noir, offering aromas of red currant, stone fruits, and citrus; and the Cuvée Réserve, which blends all three Champagne varieties into a harmonious expression featuring white peach, orange blossom, and hazelnut. The range is completed by an elegant Blanc de Blancs from 100% Chardonnay, a Rosé, the Noble Vintage, and the Brut Intense Extra. Their Brut Reserve has earned 91 points from Wine Spectator, and the house has accumulated international recognition including silver medals at the Champagne & Sparkling Wine World Championships and the International Wine Challenge, firmly establishing Haton as a benchmark for timeless, characterful champagne.”

“Hijos de Antonio Barceló is a historic Spanish wine company with roots dating back to 1876, when Antonio Barceló founded the enterprise in Málaga. Over more than a century of history, the group has evolved into one of the most diversified wine structures in Spain, with a presence in some of the country's most prestigious appellations. In the Valdeorras Denominación de Origen, the group's activity is expressed through the El Aeronauta label, a project that reflects the company's commitment to the authentic expression of the Galician terroir. Valdeorras, nestled in the interior of Galicia and crossed by the Sil River, is one of the most distinctive wine regions in northwestern Spain, renowned especially for its Godello whites and Mencía reds grown on slate soils that lend a characteristic minerality and aromatic depth rarely found elsewhere. The group also has a presence in other iconic appellations, including Ribera del Duero under the Secreto label, Rueda with Donas 1265, and the Jerez region, reflecting a multi-regional philosophy centred on the diversity of terroirs and the pursuit of quality in each denomination according to its own distinct criteria. In 2021, the company was renamed Entrecanales Domecq e Hijos following the consolidation of control by this family, marking a new chapter in the group's history without abandoning the legacy built over nearly a century and a half. The winery maintains its commitment to crafting wines that faithfully express their origin, combining tradition and modern winemaking technique in the service of the land.”

“Maleante is an Argentine wine project founded in 2014 with a clear and disruptive vision: to offer wines with a distinctive identity tailored for both by-the-glass service in restaurants and retail channels, always with an outstanding quality-to-price ratio. The project was born from the refurbishment of a historic boutique winery in Chacras de Coria, Mendoza, formerly known as 'La Misión', whose infrastructure dates back to the early twentieth century. The inaugural production yielded 12,000 bottles of a Bonarda blend from San Martín combined with Malbec from the Uco Valley — a modest yet promising start that quickly exceeded market expectations. The commercial success of those early vintages prompted the winery to reinvest in branding and packaging. In January 2016, Maleante launched its Malbec made from 100% Uco Valley grapes, strengthening its positioning within this emblematic Mendoza appellation. By the end of that same year, the winery redefined its portfolio with the release of the Terroir Series, a single-vineyard collection featuring Malbec from San José de Tupungato, Malbec from Vistaflores, and Cabernet Franc from Vistaflores, showcasing the diverse microclimates of the Uco Valley. Maleante's philosophy deliberately moves away from the classic stereotypes of traditional wine communication. The winery targets a younger, curious audience by combining genuine quality with a contemporary aesthetic and a bold brand attitude. Its current range includes Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Sauvignon Blanc, all terroir-driven and crafted from Uco Valley grapes — one of Argentina's most celebrated wine regions, renowned for high-altitude vineyards and significant diurnal temperature variation that lends elegance and freshness to the wines.”

“Muriel Wines is a distinguished Spanish wine group with deep roots in the country's winemaking heritage, tracing its origins back to 1926, when José Murúa founded the first winery in Elciego, in the heart of La Rioja. Decades later, in 1986, his son Julián expanded the legacy by establishing Bodegas Muriel, laying the foundation for what has grown into one of Spain's most significant wine groups. Today, Muriel Wines stands at the centre of an ambitious portfolio encompassing multiple brands and wineries across some of Spain's most prestigious denominations of origin. In Rioja DOCa, the group includes Bodegas Muriel, Bodegas Eguía and Marqués de Elciego, among others. Beyond Rioja, the group also operates a winery in Ribera del Duero DO and, for lovers of Atlantic whites, Pazo Cilleiro in the DO Rías Baixas — its showcase for high-quality Albariño wines. In total, the group manages 11 brands and maintains an active presence in over 50 countries, with exports accounting for 80% of total production, reflecting an extraordinary commitment to international markets. The group's philosophy is rooted in the balance between winemaking tradition and an innovative spirit. As Muriel Wines itself expresses, the secret lies in adapting to the ever-changing world of wine without losing the essential character that defines each terroir. In Rioja, Bodegas Muriel is particularly celebrated for its elegant, complex Reserva wines with excellent ageing potential. In Rías Baixas, Pazo Cilleiro reveals a very different side of Spain through Albariños with a distinct Atlantic influence — fresh, vibrant and expressive. Muriel Wines ultimately embodies Spain's remarkable ability to speak to the world through multiple territories and wine styles, consistently delivering quality recognised at the most discerning tables.”

“Oremus Tokaji is one of the most iconic wineries in the Tokaj region of northeastern Hungary, nestled amid the Zemplén Mountains near the Ukrainian border. While wine production at the Oremus vineyard dates back to 1620, and a medieval document from June 16, 1462 constitutes the earliest written reference to its vineyards, the winery in its current form was established in 1993 when the Álvarez family — owners of the legendary Vega Sicilia estate in Spain — acquired these lands and embarked on an ambitious project of restoration and modernization. The name «Oremus» derives from Latin, meaning «let us pray», reflecting the spiritual reverence that has historically surrounded these extraordinary wines. The Álvarez family has masterfully balanced the centuries-old tradition of one of the world's most revered wines with technological advancement. Their thorough study of local production methods and deep respect for tradition are evident in the construction of the new winery and in every stage of the winemaking process. The stated goal at Oremus is to produce Tokaji wines of elegance and balance, always seeking a perfect harmony between sweet fruit and the natural acidity that defines this appellation. The estate encompasses 33 hectares of vineyard planted predominantly with Furmint, the flagship variety of Tokaj, alongside Hárslevelü, Sárga Muskotály, Zéta, Kövérszolo, and Gohér. The winemaking process follows the traditional formula of the region: the botrytised Aszú and Eszencia wines undergo slow fermentation and years of ageing in small barrels within the ancient underground cellars of the estate. The range includes Aszú wines from three to six puttonyos, Eszencia, Late Harvest, and single-vineyard dry whites such as Mandolás and Petrács. The Tokaj Hegyalja region was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2002, and as early as 1772, in the world's first vineyard classification, Oremus was ranked PRIMAE CLASSIS. Its wines enjoy broad international critical acclaim and consistently high scores in specialist publications.”

“Bodegas Peñafalcón is an independent family winery located in Peñafiel, in the heart of the Ribera del Duero Denomination of Origin. Officially founded in 2000 by Casimiro and his wife María José Arranz, the winery draws on a generational legacy stretching back to the 17th century, when their ancestors were already crafting wine in traditional stone cellars in the region. The name Peñafalcón itself is a journey into the medieval past: historical records show that the village bore this name in the 11th century before becoming known as Peñafiel. The toponym, meaning «rock with a falcon perched at its summit», perfectly encapsulates the spirit of a winery deeply proud of its land and heritage. Peñafalcón's winemaking philosophy is rooted in a profound respect for the land and for traditional cultivation methods. From its very beginnings, the winery has embraced organic viticulture: rows are worked by hand, herbicides are entirely avoided, and sheep manure is used as a natural fertilizer. This unwavering commitment to the environment yields exceptional-quality grapes from privileged vineyard plots such as Santa Cruz, Carraovejas and Blanqueras, where Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are cultivated. Among its most acclaimed wines is the Peñafalcón Siglo XI range, which includes the Crianza aged 24 months in barrel, the Reserva aged 36 months, and the exclusive Gran Reserva with up to five years of ageing. These wines express the unique personality of the Ribera del Duero terroir and the artisanal passion with which Casimiro and his family carry on a centuries-old tradition. International recognition speaks to the quality of their wines: Bodegas Peñafalcón has accumulated more than 56 Super Gold and Gold awards in national and international competitions, including the Gran Oro Internacional, the Catavinum World Wine Spirits Competition and the International Wine Guide. Over 70% of production is exported to markets across Europe, Asia and the United States.”

“Tenuta delle Terre Nere is a benchmark winery on the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna, founded in 2002 by Marco de Grazia following the acquisition of a 45-hectare estate. Although his first investments in Etna's volcanic soils date back to the late 1990s, it was in 2004 that the winery achieved full self-sufficiency, vinifying the estate's grapes in its own cellar for the first time. Marco de Grazia, who had previously played a pivotal role in Barolo's rise to international fame, brought his pioneering vision to Sicily, becoming one of the first producers to recognise the potential of these long-forgotten terroirs and to place Etna on the map of the world's finest wines. The winery's philosophy revolves around viticultural excellence: in Etna's extreme climate, meticulous attention to the vineyard is the key to achieving optimal and consistent ripening. Viticulture is fully organic—certified since 2010—using only Bordeaux mixture and organic fertilisation. In the cellar, the approach is classic and Burgundian in style: maceration-fermentation lasting 10 to 15 days, malolactic fermentation, and ageing in oak with 25% new barrels, with bottling around 18 months after harvest. Marco de Grazia himself defined Etna as the «Burgundy of the Mediterranean» and adopted the Burgundy-shaped bottle as a mark of identity. Tenuta delle Terre Nere produces around 70 micro-vinifications of Nerello Mascalese and 25 of Carricante, sourced from nine Contrade—the individual crus of the Etna DOC—including Calderara Sottana, San Lorenzo, Santo Spirito, Feudo di Mezzo and Guardiola. Its most iconic cuvée, Etna Rosso «Prephylloxera – La Vigna di Don Peppino», is produced from century-old vines over 140 years old trained in traditional espalier. Today, its 15 wines are exported to 95 countries, with the United States as the primary market, cementing the winery's status as an international reference point for the Etna DOC appellation.”

“Vilarnau is a winery with deep roots in the Penedès region, whose history dates back to the 12th century, when the Vilarnau family settled in the area cultivating vineyards within the demarcation of the Castle of Subirats. However, it was in 1949 that the first Vilarnau-labelled cava was born, commercialising the sparkling wine produced at the estate known as «Can Petit i Les Planes de Vilarnau». In 1982, the winery joined the González Byass group, one of the leading names in the Spanish wine industry, and currently operates as an independent economic unit within the group. The estate covers 20 hectares of vineyards, where native varieties such as Macabeo and Xarel·lo predominate, complemented by Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. In October 2005, a state-of-the-art winery designed by architect Luis González was inaugurated at the heart of the estate. Environmental responsibility is a cornerstone of Vilarnau's identity: all its vineyards and wines are 100% organic, and the winery holds the Wineries for Climate Protection (WfCP) certification from the Spanish Wine Federation. Among its most celebrated wines, the Vilarnau Brut Reserva stands out, having been recognised as «Best Cava» and «Best Spanish Sparkling Wine» at The Champagne & Sparkling Wine World Championships, as well as earning a gold medal at the Ecovino Awards organised by the University of La Rioja. The Vilarnau Rosé Delicat received the prestigious Premio Alimentos de España for Best Wine 2021, was named «Best Organic Cava» and «Best Rosé Cava» at the same international competition, and was selected as the official cava of the Laureus World Sports Awards 2025. The Albert de Vilarnau range offers gran reserva cavas with over 30 months of artisanal ageing, while Els Capricis de Vilarnau showcases Xarel·lo fermented in 250-litre chestnut barrels. All cavas are protected under the Cava Denomination of Origin.”

“Viña Eguía is a winery with roots in Elciego, in the heart of Rioja Alavesa, whose origins date back to 1926, though the current structure was established in 1973. In 2010, the Murúa family, owners of the Muriel Wines group, acquired the assets of Marqués de Arienzo in Rioja, including the Viña Eguía brand, which was given a completely renewed image and concept. Today, Viña Eguía is part of a group that also includes Bodegas Muriel, Marqués de Elciego, Conde de los Andes, Pazo Cilleiro (D.O. Rías Baixas), and Real Compañía de Vinos. The winery's name draws inspiration from the Basque word "egia", meaning "truth" — a concept that underpins its entire philosophy: open, direct, modern, and genuine wines crafted for the broadest possible audiences. This commitment to honesty is reflected in its visual identity, featuring a hand in a pledge gesture over a label shaped like an open book. Viña Eguía manages over 1,100 hectares of vineyards — 400 estate-owned and 700 under its supervision — spread across the three sub-zones of D.O.Ca. Rioja: Rioja Oriental, Rioja Alta, and Rioja Alavesa, working with 11 grape varieties across reds and whites, with 60 hectares currently in conversion to organic farming. Its core range includes a Crianza, a Reserva, and a Gran Reserva that are mainstays of the Spanish domestic market, alongside a Blanco made from Viura, a Rosado from Tempranillo and Garnacha, and wines from other appellations including D.O. Rías Baixas, D.O. Ribera del Duero, D.O. Rueda, and a Godello from Castilla y León. Viña Eguía stands out for its outstanding quality-to-price ratio, with international critics such as James Suckling recognising its wines as serious contenders in the modern, accessible Rioja category.”

“Wachisnais is a small artisan family project born in the heart of Ribera del Duero, in the little Castilian village of Pedrosa de Duero, Burgos. Created by three friends — Paco, Noe, and Juan Pablo, under the MN Vinos umbrella — Wachisnais was born from a shared passion for authenticity, craftsmanship, and above all, vermouth. The name captures the festive, community spirit of aperitif culture in the villages of Castile: that beloved Sunday ritual of gathering for vermouth after mass, a simple yet deeply rooted social tradition that the founders decided to transform into a form of art. The philosophy behind this small winery is to blend the elegance of simple things with the authenticity of artisan production. To achieve this, they work with grape varieties native to their surroundings — Tinto Fino, Albillo Mayor, and Verdejo — macerating up to 37 carefully selected botanicals to create complex and distinctive profiles. Among their most notable expressions is Vermut Wachisnais Tintorro, a semi-dry vermouth with a deep mahogany colour and notes of ripe fruit, spices, citrus, cocoa, coffee, and caramel — a well-rounded and characteristic expression of Ribera del Duero. Wachisnais Pedrosini, on the other hand, is a personal interpretation of the classic Italian white vermouth with a nod to its Castilian roots: pale amber in colour with a refined, spiced and citrus-driven profile. Rounding out the range is Wachisnais Celestial, a special edition of the Tintorro aged for nine months in barrel and blended with the sweet liqueur wine Rita Hetvin, resulting in a vermouth of remarkable complexity, elegance, and personality. Wachisnais is, in essence, an honest project that champions vermouth as a cultural and gastronomic expression of a territory, crafted with care and the conviction that the greatest pleasures are also the simplest ones.”
