Region
Rioja is the leading Spanish wine region and the first to gain a DOCa classification (higher than DOC). 400km north of Madrid, Rioja is divided into three zones: Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Baja. Tempranillo is probably the most widely planted and produces its best wines grown on the clay and limestone slopes of the Rioja Alta and Alavesa, while Garnacha is the focus in the hotter (and sometimes drought-ridden) Rioja Baja
Style
The Chardonnay grape is the world’s most popular grape variety and more often than not will have seen oak, usually through a period of maturation in oak barrels before being bottled and released. The oak imparts rich, creamy, vanilla flavours into the wine to produce big, full-bodied whites. Australia put Chardonnay on the map as an everyday wine but the grape originates from Burgundy in France. Here, in Chablis for example, the wines are very different in style with more mineral flavours, less oak. Chardonnay is often blended with the Semillon grape
