Forbes: Marqués de Murrieta is Europe's No. 1 Winery

Forbes' international edition published its The World's 50 Best Wineries 2025 ranking — placing Marqués de Murrieta first in Europe and third in the world. The assessment combines prestige and history with thoroughly modern criteria: critics' scores for recent vintages, the quality of the wine-tourism experience, sustainability practices and certifications.
