Whites and rosés was once an apart, virtually a curiosity, at massive Rioja tastings. Principally a pretext to cleanse the palate of pigments and tannins between lengthy stretches of reds.

High quality past pink
The rising relevance of the white class – in each dimension and high quality – is now a given, as seen within the 149 white wines we tasted for the 2025 Rioja Report. Amongst them are world class bottles shaping a brand new canon of Rioja Classics.
This we’d have anticipated. What we didn’t anticipate was the nice displaying of rosados and claretes: modest in dimension (a complete of 35 wines) however remarkably constant in high quality (solely 4 scored lower than 89 factors) and with expressiveness and character throughout kinds and worth factors.
