A very special tasting showcasing the top wines from Rioja based on Tim Atkin MW's globally respected annual Special Rioja Report. As one of the world's leading experts on Spanish wines, each year Tim produces an annual Special Rioja Report highlighting the best producers from the region. Based on his report, this special tasting will showcase wines from bodegas he has selected to appear in his list of 'First, Second and Third Growths' as well as a group of producers he has highlighted as 'Rising Stars'. As Tim says *''Bringing Rioja’s best wineries together in a single room in London is always a highlight of my year. The event will provide a unique overview of what’s happening in the region. It will feature traditional and modern producers, single vineyard wines and pan-regional blends, different sub-regions and villages and the full line-up of Rioja’s 14 grape varieties. The best news of all is that many of the winemakers will be there in person pouring their wines. So brush up your Spanish, or Spanglish to prepare for this unique tasting.*' **There will be hundreds of wines on tasting and many of the producers will be in attendance. \*SCROLL TO THE END TO SEE THE LIST OF PRODUCERS CONFIRMED SO FAR\*** **This is a walk-round tasting which will last from 5.30 to 8.30** and you can get there at any time, but don't delay if you want to taste as many wines as possible!
