Rioja has a wine culture dating back to the Phoenicians and Celtic tribes.  Popular in the Middle Ages as a stop on The Way pilgrimage route, Rioja’s reputation was solidified in the 19th century. Known traditionally for extended oak aging with a specific aroma and flavor profile, Rioja today is quite a diverse wine region. The beauty of these wines and the culture of the region is timeless and inspiring.
