Rioja, named after the river (rio) Oja which forms one of the seven valleys, is Spain’s most famous wine. Chances are you’ve had one of the classic, red, Tempranillo-based blends labeled “Rioja” or “Crianza” or even “Reserva.” But did you know! Rioja wines also come in white, rosé, and in a number of different styles with many different grapes?
