Tim Atkin MW

Tim Atkin MW is one of the most respected wine critics today, known for his deep regional knowledge, journalistic voice, and engaging style.

A British Master of Wine since 2001, Atkin earned the prestigious Robert Mondavi Award for excellence in the MW theory exams. Before wine, he studied Modern Languages at Durham and European Studies at the London School of Economics, later moving into wine writing and broadcasting. His career spans decades across major publications and platforms, and he now publishes his own highly anticipated annual Special Reports on regions including Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Argentina, South Africa, Burgundy, and Chile.

Tim Atkin is particularly admired for his work in Spain, Argentina, and South Africa, where he has been instrumental in elevating global awareness of emerging producers and terroirs. His Argentina and South Africa Special Reports are considered benchmarks, and he is regarded as one of the most informed and independent voices covering these regions.
