Rioja

Situated in the stunning Basque country, a region with a storied history of viticulture and quality winemaking craftsmanship, Rioja is perhaps the world's leading authority on Tempranillo. A diverse and pleasant climate gives room for a wide array of varietals to flourish, with blanco and rosé also prominent in the region. Rioja's expertise, however, is red which accounts for over 85% of all wine.
