Rioja · 19 wines

Rioja is Spain's best-known wine region, in the north of the country. Its reds are built mainly on the Tempranillo grape and are famous for their smooth, savoury style and long oak ageing, which brings notes of vanilla, spice and dried fruit. It also makes fresh and barrel-aged whites, mostly from Viura.

They're Rioja's ageing classifications, and a handy guide to style. Crianza is the youngest and freshest; Reserva spends longer in oak and bottle for more depth; Gran Reserva is made only in the best years and aged the longest, giving mellow, complex, savoury wines. The longer the ageing, generally the smoother and more special the bottle.
