Wines From Spain Awards 2025 – a prestigious project embarks around the world
Three tasting days, and all dedicated to Spain: From December 11 to 13, 2024, ICEX Wines from Spain and MUNDUS VINI – Grand International Wine Award jointly hosted the Wines From Spain Awards.
The results of this prestigious tasting offer a unique opportunity in the year 2025 to delve deep into the great and diverse world of Spanish wines on key international markets. A treasure trove of history and tradition is revealed here, as well as a winemaking scene that has experienced enormous dynamism and development in recent years.
More than 400 wines were evaluated at Meininger Verlag under the direction of Spain experts Christoph Nicklas and David Schwarzwälder with 30 top tasters from eleven different countries - including high-ranking industry legends such as Sarah Jane Evans MW, Doug Frost MW MS, Almudena Alberca MW and Beth Willard. The tasting juries brought with them many different backgrounds, stories and focuses - and were united on three very important points that they have in common: a lot of love, a lot of experience and a lot of knowledge when it comes to Spanish wines.
Our expert´s results from the first tasting days determined the 100 best, highest rated wines, which were then selected and prepared by the Meininger tasting department and distributed in their respective price categories. Then, on the final tasting day, the master jury put the wines through their paces once again, described them in detail and found exactly one category winner in each of the different award categories, who would then be allowed to wear the “GRAND GOLD - Wines from Spain Awards Champion” medal. The other wines who reached the final can also proudly carry the “GOLD - Wines from Spain Award TOP 100 Winner” medal.
100 Spain-highlights: The Champions, Winners and the three special prizes (best wine of the competition, best organic wine and best discovery wine) will be shown internationally throughout 2025, presented in a detailed and highly flexible tasting catalog at Bottlebooks and in various Meininger media. Outstanding presentations include ProWein in Düsseldorf as well as events in the UK, the USA, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Japan.
The winner wines will be presented for the first time internationally in the ICEX Pavilion at Prowein 2025 where the award ceremony and a commented tasting of the champions GRAND GOLDS commented by David Schwarzwälder will take place (Monday 17.3 at 13:00) as well as an exhibition in the Open Tasting Area of ICEX/Wines from Spain.
