| | Rioja - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Rioja is a wine from a region named after the Rio Oja in Spain, a tributary of the Ebro. | | | It is made from grapes grown in the provinces of La Rioja, Álava or Navarre. | | | Rioja’s wine industry started within the monasteries founded to serve pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago. |

| | RIOJA |
| | For any wines carrying the Rioja DOCa certification on their labels, it is mandatory that they are bottled within the region. | | | Of the 120,000 acres currently planted to vines, typically 75% of the crop is vinified as red wine, although over 90% of the wine the US imports from Rioja is red. | | | As the world consumer turns inexorably back toward quality red wine, Rioja is producing a increasing number of specialty wines packaged in special bottles which, if not emulating the Super Toscano concept, at least reminds many consumers of a similar marketing style. |

| | Rioja Spain Festivals |
| | The vitality of Rioja has been driven by the success of the Tempranillo grape in the vineyard, as well as the tradition of maturing red wines in cask and bottle until they are fully mature on release. | | | Moreover, the red Rioja flavor profile—with its smooth drinkability, its combination of earthy, spicy and ripe fruit flavors, and its backbone of oak—is right in sync with American tastes and with the eclectic, full-flavored cuisines that continue to gain popularity. | | | Paradoxically, while Rioja has been growing vines and producing wine since its Roman occupation centuries ago, the region is enjoying a period of discovery in the U.S., where sales have shown steady growth over the past decade. |

| | Wine from the Rioja Alavesa is characteristically made from the tempranillo grape and is fruity and good drunk young. | | | The Rioja Baja produces wines from the garnacha grape which tend to be heavy and have a high alcohol content. | | | It has been said that the wine of La Rioja in Spain is "the best wine in the world in terms of value for money." This region in the north of Spain produces red, white and rosé wines, as well as the idiosyncratic clarete. |

| | Nation's Restaurant News: Rebirth of Rioja: Spain's red wine region produces a dark, full-bodied beverage - On Wine |
| | Rioja Alavesa, the coolest, most northerly area, is north of the Ebro, the largest river flowing through the region; wines made from Alavesa vineyards tend to be the lightest bodied and the highest in acidity. | | | Many Rioja producers blend grapes from all three districts or grapes from at least one of the cooler districts, Alta or Alavesa, with Baja fruit, to give the wines balance. | | | Rioja Baja, the largest district, east and south of the region's capital city of Logrono, has a more Mediterranean climate; it's the warmest district, and wines made from Baja's ripe grapes are fuller bodied and contain more alcohol. |

| | Rioja needs a 25% increase in grape supply to restock cellars to what they were several years ago. | | | Rioja wine producers still respect the attributes of long aging in oak and bottle before release. | | | While some producers are asking the Rioja wine industry regulatory body, the Consejo Regulador, to admit Cabernet Sauvignon as an allowed variety in the Rioja grape blend, the Consejo has maintained its policy of disallowing Cabernet Sauvignon unless vines have been grandfathered in the current law or the plantings are specifically designated for "experimental" use. |

| | The Rioja is a hilly region, extending for about 100 kilometres on either side of the River Ebro, with little villages dotting the hill-tops, where traditionally the vineyards were scattered in and amongst the other crops such as peppers, wheat and potatoes. | | | The fine Riojas of the Alta and Alavesa areas have their own characteristics; the wines of the former are more assertive and age better, while the latter, with a higher percentage of Tempranillo, tend to be fruitier and softer. | | | For many people a good red Spanish wine and a Rioja are almost synonymous, and given the ubiquity of the Rioja wines it's understandable. |

| | Rioja is Spain's most prestigious viticultural region, containing her oldest wine estates—partly a tribute to the Bordelaise who moved there in the late 1800s when phyloxera was ravaging France. | | | Rioja is more strongly associated with oak aged wines. | | | Another useful consequence of extended barrel aging is that Rioja wines rarely throw any sediment in bottle, having already left their sediment in the barrel. |

| | The issue cannot be settled in the abstract, since it would be as foolish to say flatly that bigger is better in wine as to say that veal is simply inferior to beef because it isn't as dark or robust. | | | This is partly because responsive strategies are always formed in part by the shape of the threat, and in Rioja's case the threat is obvious: wines from elsewhere in Spain - and from the world beyond - that are darker, denser, riper and more deeply flavored than typical Riojas. | | | Throughout the past century, if you asked a wine lover to associate a word with "Spanish red wine," the likely response was "Rioja." But those days are over, and today the same question might well draw a response of Priorat or Toro or Ribera del Duero. |
