The 10 categories are: Unoaked whites, Oaked whites, Rosé, Crianza, Reserva from £10-£14.99, Reservas over £15, Gran Reserva, Generic wines over £15, Non-Tempranillio reds, and Red made from non-Tempranillo varieties, and the “Chairs’ Choices”.

The 100 wines were selected from hundreds of entrants which were tasted blind by a panel of twelve experts including wine buyers, writers and specialists, co-chaired by Tim Atkin MW and Sarah Jane Evans MW.

Rioja’s 10 x 10 line up will be available for the wine trade to taste on Thursday 17 October in London. More details will be revealed on registration.
