Rioja
Rioja is a designated wine appellation located in northern Spain, established in 1925. It encompasses three primary subregions: Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa, and Rioja Oriental. The region is characterized by a diverse climate, influenced by the Ebro River and surrounding mountains, which contributes to a variety of wine styles. Rioja is known for its red wines, primarily produced using Tempranillo, Garnacha, and other varieties, often aged in oak barrels to develop complexity.
