La Rioja Wine Regions

La Rioja Wine Regions

Bottles of La Rioja wines will be identified with one of the three sub-regions that produced them. Those from Rioja Alta (Upper Rioja) are generally the longest-lived and smoothest. Rioja Alavesa wines are equally exceptional and characterized by their strong aromas, though these, in fact, come from the País Vasco side of the Río Ebro. Both of these wines are generally produced with tempranillo grapes. The hotter region of the Rioja Baha (Lower Rioja) produces younger, lighter wines, usually from the Garnacha Roja grape.
