It is located between three autonomous communities, Rioja, the Basque Country and Navarra, and at the same time, it is divided into three subzones, Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa and La Rioja Alavesa. Eastern Rioja. The first two are marked by a continental climate while the eastern one enjoys a Mediterranean influence. The Ebro River irrigates the vineyards, among which red varieties dominate, Tempranillo being the most relevant grape, along with Mazuelo and Garnacha, which is found in the eastern part. In addition to reds, we find white wines made mostly with Viura, which are increasingly being made. La Rioja made its place among the best in the world when phylloxera devastated French vineyards. The Bordeaux wineries looked at this area for various factors and brought varieties, professionals, technique and 225L barrels. It is a denomination that has been able to adapt to changes, maintaining its traditional varieties. The classification of their wines lies in the time they are aged, from the Generic to the Gran Reserva, although recently a classification has been added according to their origin, giving value to the “terroir”.
