Wine from Rioja

Rioja is a wine region located in Spain. There are three principal wine regions in Rioja, Rioja Alavesa, Rioja Alta, and Rioja Baja, each producing unique wines. The majority of the territory is a protected designation. Rioja is located just south of the Cantabrian Mountains and runs along the Ebro River. Rioja is home to the Oja River and is situated on a plateau that sits 1,500 feet above sea level.

The soil in Roja is clay based and has a high concentration of iron and chalk with a significant concentration of sandstone, limestone, and alluvial silt.

Wines produced in Rioja are a blend of a variety of grapes and can be either be white, red or rosé. The region has 57,000 hectares that produce 250 million liters of wine every year. 85% of that is red wine. The harvest time in Rioja is September to October with Rioja Alta harvesting the latest in late October.

Rioja enjoys a continental climate with cold winters, and warm summers. The higher elevations have a cooler climate. The mountains isolate the region, which has a moderate effect on the climate. Although gusty winds are common in northern Spain, the vineyards are protected by the same mountain range.

Proelio Puerto Rubio Rioja Tempranillo 2018


Sourced from a vineyard at 505 metres above sea level in San Vicente de la Sonsierra, the wine takes its name from the site it is located on. The soils are primarily composed of depleted limestone in the subsoil and pebbles on the topsoil. These types of soils offer long-ageing capacity, freshness, volume and structured wines.

Fresh, structured and complex, this wine is very aromatic, with intense aromas of wild black fruits, accompanied by deep balsamic aromas and licorice. A silky texture and mineral notes, it is round, powerful and polished on the palate with flavors of black fruits, prunes, balsamic and spice. A long and persistent finish.

Review:

"Dark plums, wild berries, dried herbs and warm earth with sweet spices and discreet vanilla creaminess interwoven to the nose. A medium-to full-bodied tempranillo with chalky, calculated tannins and vivid acidity. Lively, with a bright core of fruit on the center-palate and a flavorful, spicy finish. Naturally concentrated, but extremely drinkable, too. Long and bright. Drink or hold."
