Looking for something different from your usual Rioja, or choosing a wine for someone else? Start with whichever of these best describes what you're looking for.

I know Rioja and want to discover something different

I'm choosing a gift or a wine for a special occasion

I Know Rioja and Want Something Different

If you already enjoy Rioja, these wines offer opportunities to explore less familiar grapes, vineyard selections, winemaking approaches and mature expressions.

I'd Like to Explore a Different Grape or Expression

Baigorri Garnacha Rioja offers a different perspective on red Rioja, with fragrant red fruit, freshness and silky texture from old, high-altitude Garnacha vines in Rioja Alavesa. An appealing discovery if you're accustomed to Tempranillo-led wines.

For a different blend, Luis Canas Seleccion de la Familia Reserva combines old-vine Tempranillo with Cabernet Sauvignon, delivering concentrated dark fruit, spice and considerable structure.

I'm Interested in Vineyard Selection and Winemaking

Angeles de Amaren Rioja brings together old-vine concentration, Graciano freshness and refined oak complexity, offering a distinctive expression of Rioja Alavesa.

Mayor de Ondarre Reserva is a limited-production wine made from specially selected vineyard fruit, combining concentrated dark fruit with fine tannins and polished oak.

I'd Like to Discover Something Beyond Red Rioja

Manzanos Voche Rioja Blanco Fermentado en Barrica offers a richer white Rioja experience, with citrus freshness, barrel-derived spice and a textured finish.

For a different colour and style altogether, Finca Manzanos 1890 Rosado is a fresh, dry Garnacha and Tempranillo rose. Its producer's selected-vineyard proposition makes it worth considering for someone curious about Rioja beyond red wine.

I'd Like to Experience Mature Rioja

Manzanos Voche Vino de Autor 2001 offers the developed character of a mature vintage, with dried fruit, tobacco, forest-floor notes and silky tannins. An intriguing alternative to choosing solely by Crianza, Reserva or Gran Reserva classification.

I'm Choosing a Gift or a Wine for a Special Occasion

You don't need to know Rioja in detail to choose something memorable. Think about the person receiving the wine, or the kind of occasion you're celebrating.

I Want a Wine with a Story Behind It

Antonio Navajas 100th Anniversary Rioja is a commemorative old-vine cuvee, offering concentrated dark fruit, polished tannins and complex oak. Its anniversary connection gives it a particularly appealing story for a gift or celebration.

Alternatively, Manzanos Voche Vino de Autor 2001 offers the appeal of a mature vintage, making it an interesting choice for someone who appreciates wines with age and development.

I Want Something Rich and Impressive for a Special Meal

Manzanos Gold Label Reserva is a powerful, structured Rioja with concentrated dark fruit, smoky spice and complex oak. A good option when you want a bold, full-flavoured red for a substantial meal or celebration.

Luis Canas Seleccion de la Familia Reserva offers another rich, structured choice, with old-vine concentration and layered complexity.

I'm Buying for Someone Who Already Loves Rioja

Mayor de Ondarre Reserva offers a limited-production expression from specially selected fruit, making it a thoughtful choice for someone who already enjoys traditional Rioja Reserva.

For a more exploratory gift, Baigorri Garnacha Rioja offers a different grape expression, while ?ngeles de Amaren Rioja brings old-vine concentration and refined complexity.

I'm Still Not Sure What to Choose
