What’s an ‘Alta’? Now thereâââ€Å¬â„¢s a good question. Rioja Alta is a subregion of Rioja translating as ‘high Rioja’. As with all things wine, altitude is a good thing for quality (to a point, obviously - not much tempranillo grown on Mt Everest). So it’s home to finer, lower alcohol styles of the style, which also have a particular affinity for oak, and lap it up to envelop its flavours in stupendous fruit. This is where elegant Rioja comes from. This is an excellent example, so all that’s left is for you to find out what Alta tastes like yourself.ÂÂÂÂ
