No region is more synonymous with Spanish wine than Rioja. Sprawling along the Ebro river in North Central Spain, Rioja has built its reputation on red wines that balance elegance and power. Unlike other wine regions, where hierarchy is exclusively built around terroir or vineyard quality, Rioja’s system centers around how long a wine ages in barrel and bottle before it's released to the market. The aging framework, which ranges from the Crianza label’s two total years to Gran Reserva’s five total years, is a promise to the consumer that each bottle meets the region’s standards for excellence.

🌿💰 EXCLUSIVE: SUMM INGREDIENTS NABS $2M TO TRANSFORM PLANT-BASED FOOD WITH FERMENTED PROTEINS Having spent years in the fine-dining space as a culinary director and restauranteur, Frederik Jensen knows a thing or two about flavour and mouthfeel. These also happen to be two of the most common pain points surrounding plant-based food. Despite the trove of meat and dairy alternatives, many omnivores and flexitarians remain unsatisfied with the current status quo. Jensen wants to change that. In 2022, he founded Nutrumami to unlock game-changing proteins with an age-old trick: fermentation. His goal was to provide the plant-based industry with an ingredient that would add umami and kokumi (Japanese for “rich taste” and characterised by mouthfeel, thickness, and a sense of lingering) to products while delivering a protein and textural boost. Three years on, Jensen is closer than ever to bringing his first ingredient, a multifunctional protein dubbed FermiPro, to market. Newly rebranded as SUMM Ingredients, his startup has just closed a €1.7M ($2M) funding round in the worst investment landscape for food tech in a decade. “We realised our previous name no longer reflected the real extent of our vision. We are not just launching a single ingredient – we are helping to shape an entirely new ingredient category: multifunctional ingredients that make it easier to create cleaner, healthier, and tastier foods,” he tells Green Queen. “Our new name, Summ Ingredients, reflects this ambition: it’s about the ‘Summ’ of functions we bring together – taste, texture, and nutrition – and the ‘Summ’ impact we can create for food producers, consumers, and the planet,” he adds. The investment takes the Danish firm’s total raised just past €2M ($2.3M), with EIFO and BoxOne Ventures joining existing investors Kost Capital and Planetary Impact Ventures, and will support its plan to launch FermiPro this autumn. “The funding will primarily be used to scale production, support commercialisation, and expand our technology platform as we build the business and the market opportunity ahead of us,” says Jensen.

Grower Champagne has quietly reshaped the Dubai wine landscape, bringing authenticity and individuality to a Market long dominated exclusively by Big Brands. Over the last few years, Sommeliers and Customers have embraced the movement, valuing terroir-driven wines that speak of place, soil, and tradition. This shift has created new opportunities for Restaurants and Hotels to differentiate their wine programs, moving away from predictable labels and towards curated selections that intrigue guests seeking discovery. The impact is visible on several fronts : - pricing: grower Champagnes often provide exceptional quality-to-value, allowing venues to offer unique prestige without the same price premium of global brands. - storytelling: Dubai’s luxury clientele is increasingly drawn to narratives of family vineyards, artisanal production, limited releases and alignment with the City’s appetite for exclusivity. - education: Sommeliers now highlight Growers raising awareness and elevating the conversation about Champagne beyond status symbols. In a market where novelty and authenticity are powerful drivers, grower Champagnes have introduced a new layer of sophistication. They have not replaced the grandes marques, but coexist, offering a choice between heritage prestige and artisanal distinction. An evolution that strengthens Dubai’s position as a progressive, world-class wine destination.
