In our last video in this series, we went all around Spain to check out all the different style of wines the country has to offer. Today, we’re starting our deeper dive into individual Spanish regions, so you get to know them by their first name and of course we’re beginning with the most famous of them all Rioja. We’ve all heard the name Rioja, but how many of you actually know what’s behind this illustrious name. We’ll keep it super simple and short here, although I’ll give you enough details and insights from a winemaker who’s actually worked in Spain (I have) so you really grasp well and remember the important facts and truly understand the wines. THIS is your essential guide to the wines from RIOJA.
