RIOJA
Rioja was the first Spanish wine region to obtain DO status in 1925. In 1991, it was promoted to DOCa (Qualified Designation of Origin), a higher category reserved for wines maintaining a proven consistency and quality over a long period of time.
Rioja DOCa is known primarily for its reds though it also makes some whites and rosés. Most bodegas still use their own formulas for blending red wines with at least three grapes, the most important of which is Tempranillo, the noblest of the native Spanish vines. This grape gives the wines their elegance, concentration of aromas and complexity of flavours. It is this, as well as oak ageing, which gives the wines such personality and individuality.

A good value, the deep ruby-colored 1999 Jarrarte (100% Tempranillo) reveals an elegant, perfumed nose of tobacco smoke, new saddle leather, cherry jam, earth, and pepper. Reminiscent of a top-class Burgundy, it reveals notes of sweet and sour cherries, admirable finesse as well as purity, and an attractive texture.
