The Spanish wine region of La Rioja is most famous for its Rioja wine, which is made from grapes in La Rioja, Navarre, and Álava. La Rioja is a Denominación de Origen Calificada, meaning it is a qualified region of origin for wine. Rioja wines are a blend of the grapes from the previously mentioned regions and can be red, white, or rosé. Rioja wine's most distinct characteristic is its oak aging; the youngest wine (Rioja) spends less than a year in oak, while the oldest wines of the region (Rioja Gran Reserva) has been aged at least two years in oak and three years in a bottle.
