Rioja is in North Central Spain and is the country’s most well known wine regions. One of its distinct characteristics is the effect of oak ageing which was introduced as early as the 18th century by influencers from Bordeaux. This oak ageing process and the distinctive vanilla flavours in the wine is seen as its signature trademark of the region. More recently however, wine makers are trying to make Rioja wine with less oak influence.
