Gourmets Wine Guide 2025
Since its first edition in 1983, Guía de Vinos Gourmets has remained faithful to its philosophy and methodology, being the only one on the market that tastes blind, in order to offer its readers an objective opinion of the wines it contains, with personalised tasting comments, using appropriate language aimed at both wine connoisseurs and professionals in the sector.
Once again this year it has become one of the most complete guides on the Spanish wine scene thanks to the selection of wineries that shows the varied offer and typology of the most interesting wines produced in our country. It has taken 215 tasting sessions, carried out by a Tasting Committee made up of 21 professionals including oenologists, sommeliers, specialised journalists and active tasters.
