Ok, In Rioja there are three parts
There's is Rioja Baja
and, nowadays we are doing aging wines (age-worthy), wonderful wines,
but before it was more for young wines
For the Grenache, Grenache was very popular in the south of Rioja.
And the Grenache is just for young wines. In Rioja Alta
was using more for Tempanillos
Tempranillos work better in Rioja Alta.
That is why Rioja Alta at the beginning was more
used for aged wines not for young wines.
That is the main difference.
Rioja is 100 kilometers from side to side and the south is more
is close to, its more
it is warmer much more warmer, and the Alta is
much more colder. In 100 km there are big differences.
Rioja Alavesa is part of the Rioja Alta.
Rioja Alavesa comes into the...
That's the Basque Country, the Basque country is the
Biscay, Gipuzkoa and Alava. In Alava
there is a small piece of Alava,
they have the Rioja, they are Rioja
so that's is a very very similar to
Rioja Alta. Rioja Alta and Rioja Alavesa are almost
the same in terms of geology,
in terms of quality, are very similar.
There are more mountains in the North of Spain and it
looks more like, is more
How do you say?
"Plano"? (off screen) "Flat"
Pardon me! The south of Rioja is
Is very much flat and the North is
Plenty of mountains, and plenty of valleys
That is the main difference.
