Rioja runs 100 kilometres from Tormantos to Alfaro, where Atlantic and Mediterranean influences meet. Red wine is central here. Tempranillo leads, with Graciano, Garnacha, Mazuela and Maturana Tinta alongside it, though Rioja also makes white and rosé.
The three official zone names are Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Oriental. A wine labelled with one uses grapes from that zone. At higher sites in Rioja Alta, later ripening brings more acidity and freshness, less alcohol and greater potential to age. Lower sites give riper fruit and softer wines. Rioja Alavesa is generally cooler and more humid, with calcium-rich clay-limestone soils associated with wines of body. Rioja Oriental has clay-ferrous and alluvial soils associated with medium-light-bodied wines, while its warmer, drier lower sites can give more structure and alcohol.
For red Rioja, Crianza is associated with toasted-oak aromas. Reserva and Gran Reserva develop more complex spicy aromas.
