Rioja has just celebrated their 100th year as an appellation in 2025. The year long festivities showcased the broad spectrum of wines and techniques that define not only Rioja's history, but also its present and future!

While still recognized for their incredible aged wines based primarily (but not exclusively) on Tempranillo, new approaches are emerging from large barrel influences and concrete vat aging to fresh takes on "blending" grapes that make these background singers the stars of the show.
