Excellent scores from Tim Atkin, Robert Parker and Guía Gourmets 2025 for Hermanos Hernáiz wines
The recognition of the excellence of Hermanos Hernáiz continues to consolidate with the recent ratings of three of the most influential guides in the world of wine: the rating of The Wine Advocate by Robert Parker, the annual Rioja report of Tim Atkin MW and the spanish Gourmets Wine Guide 2025. A hat-trick of outstanding scores that ratifies the position of our wines among the best in Spain and on the international scene.
