About Rioja Rosé

While Rioja is best known for its reds, rosés (rosados) from this region (especially in Rioja Oriental, the warmest subzone) are gaining attention for their bright fruit, floral notes, and elegant structure. They’re often made from Tempranillo and Grenache, offering more depth and a savoury edge compared to many international rosés.

How to pair it

This is a Spanish rose that loves food. Try it with grilled prawns, Spanish tortilla, tapas, or a goat’s cheese salad. It also works with light pasta dishes, veggie paella, or anything with tomatoes and herbs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Rioja a rosé?

Not exactly. Rioja is a region in Spain, not a type of wine per se. While it’s best known for its red wines, the region also produces white (blanco) and rosé (rosado) wines. So when you see a “Rioja Rosé,” it means a rosé wine made in the Rioja region, often using grapes like Tempranillo and Garnacha.

What kind of wine is a Rioja?

Rioja is a Spanish wine region known for dry red wines, mainly from Tempranillo, with styles ranging from fruity and fresh to rich and oak-aged. The region’s diverse climate and soils, from the cool, high-altitude Rioja Alta to the warmer Rioja Oriental, give Rioja wines their balance, structure, and ageing potential.

What region is Rioja wine from?

Rioja wine comes from the Rioja region in northern Spain, which is divided into three subregions: Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa, and Rioja Oriental (formerly Rioja Baja). Each has its own microclimate and personality, but all are known for producing high-quality, food-friendly wines, especially from Tempranillo grapes.

Why are sulphites added to wine?

Sulphites (or sulfites) are added to most wines to help preserve freshness, prevent spoilage, and protect against oxidation. They’ve been used in winemaking for centuries. While natural wines sometimes use little or no added sulphites, most wines (even organic ones) contain small amounts. For most people, they’re completely harmless, though a small number may be sensitive to them.

Is Tempranillo dry or sweet?

Tempranillo is a dry red grape variety. It’s known for making medium- to full-bodied wines with flavours of red berries, plum, tobacco, and spice. Even when it's used in rosé, like in Rioja Rosé, the result is typically a dry, crisp wine, not sweet. If you're after a fruit-forward wine that isn't sugary, Tempranillo is a solid choice.
