Love Rioja? Five Other Styles to Discover

It’s no surprise that Rioja is one of the world’s most loved wines. But its star grape thrives in many other places, while that seductively mellow, oaked style can also be found elsewhere.

The popularity of Rioja tends to overshadow its neighbour to the north-east. Navarra built its reputation on cheap, thirst-quenching rosé, but today more ambitious producers are using the region’s Grenache – or Garnacha as it’s known here – and increasingly Rioja’s Tempranillo to produce serious red wine too.
