| Here's a quick breakdown to help you understand the rioja styles you'll see on labels. |
| Rioja wines are associated with a lush, velvety appeal and the sweet scent of vanilla, largely the result of long ageing in American oak barrels. |
| Sure, as a student, I drank Liebfraumilch and Rioja like everyone else, pretty much without thinking. |
| They will follow the tiny paths over the mountains and through the famous vineyards of Rioja before skirting the cities of Burgos, Leon and Lugo. |
| Any young and fruity red, such as a Beaujolais or Rioja, is a good all-around choice. |
| However during the first half I had to nip to the loo twice and on each journey I slugged another quickie of Rioja down. |
