Rioja Wines
Rioja is Spain's most celebrated wine region, renowned for elegant, oak-aged reds that balance tradition with modern winemaking excellence. Located in northern Spain along the Ebro River, Rioja's diverse terroirs produce wines of remarkable complexity and age-worthiness.
Predominantly crafted from Tempranillo with touches of Garnacha, Graciano, and Mazuelo, Rioja wines are classified by their ageing: Crianza (minimum 2 years, 1 in oak), Reserva (minimum 3 years, 1 in oak), and Gran Reserva (minimum 5 years, 2 in oak).
Expect flavours of red cherry, vanilla, leather, and tobacco in these food-friendly wines that pair beautifully with lamb, aged cheeses, and charcuterie. At The Wine Buff, we source our Rioja wines directly from sustainable partner winemakers.
