La Riojana is delighted to be celebrating a host of medal successes, including four Silver and seven Bronze, for a large number of its Fairtrade certified wines judged at this year’s Decanter World Wine Awards and International Wine Challenge.
Two of the wines awarded Silver Medals in these two well renowned wine competitions include Co-op Irresistible Fairtrade Tilimuqui Sparkling Brut NV (91 points - DWWA 2024) and Tilimuqui Fairtrade Malbec 2023 (90 points - IWC 2024), both of which newly launched this year and are named after Tilimuqui, a village where La Riojana is making a large investment to help improve the lives of its inhabitants, including many of La Riojana’s workers, growers and their families, through the Fairtrade Premium.
La Riojana also saw further Silver Medal success for two more wines it produces for the Co-op own-label and Irresistible Fairtrade range, including Co-op Irresistible Fairtrade Organic Malbec 2022 (92 points – IWC 2024) and Co-op Fairtrade Torrontes-Chardonnay 2023 (91 points - IWC 2024).
