100 Wines That Tell the Story of Modern Spain
Spain’s wine story is changing — without forgetting where it came from.
James Suckling’s Top 100 Wines of Spain 2025 is a fascinating snapshot of a country where old vineyards, native varieties and centuries of tradition are meeting a new generation of ambitious winemakers.
The JamesSuckling.com team tasted around 3,500 Spanish wines before selecting their Top 100, looking not only at scores, but also at authenticity, character, value, availability and that elusive “Wow” factor.
And the results are revealing.
Jerez, Galicia, Bierzo, Rioja, Ribera del Duero, the Canary Islands, Valencia and other emerging regions all have a place in the story. Old vines and forgotten vineyards are being rediscovered, while traditional regions are being reinterpreted with fresh energy.
At No. 1 is M. Anto. De la Riva Jerez Macharnudo San Cayetano Vino de Pasto 2024, a striking example of the new wave coming from Jerez.
For us, that is what makes Spanish wine so exciting right now.
There isn’t one Spain. There are hundreds of them — and there is always another bottle worth discovering.
