We say farewell to 2025 with our top six wines of the year. As tradition has it, we select wines by category that showcase the rich diversity of styles from Latin America and the Old Continent.

This year, we were blown away by Pancho Bugallo Old Vine Blend from the foothills of the Andes in San Juan, Argentina. For bubbles, our pick from the Old World is Portugal’s Osvaldo Amado TODOS Sparkling Baga 2017, a wine that will keep you reaching for another glass.

Back in Central Mexico, the Rosé of the Year comes from Garnacha and Nebbiolo grown in high-elevation vineyards in Querétaro. Also from Mexico, the Revelation of the Year is Llano Colorado Surco Rojo, a Cabernet-Nebbiolo blend with a bright, salty finish.

From southern Chile, an honest, old-vine 100% Semillón dazzles with layers of citrus fruits and minerality. We close our journey in Uruguay with an aromatic, dry Moscatel from the Atlantic coast, made with expressive skin contact.

Here’s to the wines that made 2025 unforgettable — and to the glasses yet to be shared in 2026!
