La Rioja Alavesa: the elite of Rioja wines
La Rioja Alavesa is classified as a sub-area in the Rioja Qualified Designation of Origin. It has 13,500 hectares of vineyards and several hundred wineries, resulting in an annual average of around 40 million liters of wine.
The area produces especially red wines with specific general characteristics, such as a bright and lively color, a fine aroma, a fruity flavor, and a pleasant palate. These peculiarities are due to the clay-calcareous soils of the area, which are excellent for the vines to absorb the necessary moisture. The climate and the location of the vineyards, behind the Sierra de Toloño, which protects the vineyards from the cold winds from the north and allows the vines to better take advantage of the heat, also contribute to their quality.
