Rioja at 100: Stick or Twist? BONUS TASTER

SUBSCRIBER BONUS TASTER: As Rioja turns 100, Spain's most famous wine region finds itself at a crossroads. Should it stick with tradition and what’s made it world famous? Or should it adapt and innovate, in order to appease the modernists and face up to climate change and shifting consumer trends?

One memorable trip to Rioja and tons of tastings later, we sit down to get to grips with what Rioja even is these days, what it’s trying to do, what it’s getting right – and wrong. And along the way we make sure to highlight and recommend the kind of Riojan wines and producers getting us excited.

This episode is packed full of information, insight and opinion on what is one of the world's favourite wine regions - but which is changing fast.

NB: This is a short taster of the full episode, which is available exclusively for Wine Blast PLUS subscribers. So if you're a fan of Rioja and want the lowdown plus our personal top tips, use this link to find out more or subscribe to Wine Blast PLUS.
