Rioja wines, primarily crafted from the Tempranillo grape, balance the fruitiness of strawberries and cherries with the earthiness of leather and tobacco. Ageing in oak barrels gives Rioja its signature vanilla and clove notes. We deliver Rioja across London 24 hours a day, usually within 30–45 minutes, and next day across mainland UK.
The words on a Rioja label tell you how long the wine was aged before release. Crianza spends at least a year in oak and is the juicy, everyday style, ideal with tapas and weeknight dinners. Reserva is aged at least three years, with one in oak, and shows more depth and savoury complexity; the López de Heredia Viña Tondonia Reserva is a classic traditional example. Gran Reserva is made only in the best years and aged at least five years, two of them in oak, giving mellow, silky wines for special occasions. Rioja also makes fine white wine, such as the El Coto 875m Finca Carbonera Chardonnay.
Serve red Rioja at 16–18°C. It is one of the most food-friendly reds: roast lamb, chorizo, jamón, grilled vegetables, hard cheeses and Sunday roasts all work. Older Gran Reservas benefit from decanting.
