About Rioja
Rioja's grapes come from La Rioja, Navarre and the Basque province of Álava, and the region is divided into Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Oriental. Traditionally most Rioja is a blend of fruit from the three zones. Tempranillo is the main red grape, with Garnacha, Mazuelo and Graciano, and Viura is the main white. Winemaking here goes back to monasteries, with a written record from 873. The denomination dates from 1925, and in 1991 Rioja became Spain's first DOCa. Red Reservas must age at least three years, including a year in oak; Gran Reservas spend at least two years in barrel and three in bottle.
