Meet Tim Atkin, the British Master of Wine and his innovative wine valuations

Tim Atkin, the British Master of Wine, was born in Dartford, England in 1961 years, Tim specialised in wine after studying economics in London. Earning the Master of Wine degree is a difficult task at the Institute for Master of Wine in London, where only the most knowledgeable about wine pass rigorous tests.

Tim is one of the most important judges in international wine competitions, as well as being a writer, radio and television presenter. He is also known to be a true wine lover, appreciated in all facets of the wine world.

Why should you trust his ratings? His resume is impressive, as well as being known for being strict and not accepting gifts or benefits. His wine tastings are also accurate, as the wines he recommends are often exceptional.

Tim has also introduced novelties in the evaluation of wines, assessing not only the organoleptic quality, but also the terrain, viticulture and production. For example, in Rioja he has established a ranking similar to the French Grand Cru, where wineries are valued for their track record, vineyards and method of production. Atkin also rewards the best winemaker and viticulturist, such as Carlos Fernández from Bodegas Tierra, who was named best viticulturist in 2021.

If you're looking to buy great wines, Tim is an excellent reference.
