Araex Grands, one of Spain’s leading fine wine groups, is showcasing a premium wine called Iconic at Wine Paris & Vinexpo Paris 2023.

Iconic, a Rioja, is the result of a collaboration between Michel Rolland, a renowned oenologist, and Javier R. de Galaretta, a well-known Spanish wine entrepreneur.
“It’s very elegant and very complex, which is critical. Together with minerality, this will make this wine last for the next 30 years,” said Javier, who is Araex Grands Spanish Fine Wines’ president and CEO.
Araex combines 15 premium and super premium wineries and exports widely, including to Germany, the UK, Canada, the Netherlands, Switzerland, China, Japan and numerous other countries. Indeed Araex is focused mostly on export markets rather than Spain.
Remi Sanz, director of communication for Araex Grands, said a key focus for the group was to raise the profile of some of the wineries in markets where they currently have less of an impact.
“The idea is to strengthen our presence in the markets that are not that big,” he said.
Araex Grands, whose wineries are characterised by their long tradition and their efforts to reduce their environmental impact, has a physical presence in five export markets and sells in around 70 markets in total.
