Anna in member Queiron’s El Arca vineyard
Anna Harris-Noble
WSET-Diploma holder Anna has been working in the wine industry in Spain and the UK for over 20 years, including periods heading up the UK Wines from Rioja and Wines of Germany accounts. She has carried out translation and marketing projects for some of Spain’s most important wine companies. A fluent Spanish speaker and WSET-certified educator, she translated Fernando Mora’s Master of Wine research paper about vineyard classification systems in the DO Campo de Borja into English, with her article about the winemaker’s work recovering an ancient vineyard published on jancisrobinson.com
As well as working as a PR consultant, with her own business, tasteexchange.com, she has written for spanishwinelover.com winescholarguild.com and foodswinesfromspain.com
Born in the UK, but now with dual Spanish-British citizenship, Anna thought her love for Spanish wine stemmed from her time living next to a winery in Navarra as part of her languages degree, but she has discovered that some of her ancestors owned vineyards in the Toledo area over 500 years ago.
“I believe wholeheartedly in old vines as beacons for sustainability, heritage and quality. I’ve throughly enjoyed representing Spain’s diverse viticultural heritage as Regional Ambassador since 2022 and now as operations director, I’m excited to work with our members across the world to take the organisation into its next state of growth.”
