Wine Region
Rioja is Spain’s most iconic wine region, located in the north of the country along the Ebro River. It is divided into three subzones — Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Oriental — each contributing unique characteristics to the region’s wines. Rioja Alta, where Bodegas Navajas is based, is particularly renowned for its elegant, age-worthy reds with balanced acidity and integrated oak influence.
The region enjoys a mix of Atlantic and Mediterranean climates, with warm days, cool nights and limestone-rich soils that support slow, even grape ripening — perfect for Tempranillo and its blending partners, Garnacha and Mazuelo. Wines labeled “Reserva” are aged for at least three years, including a minimum of one year in oak, resulting in smooth, structured reds with layers of fruit, spice and earthy complexity.
Rioja’s reputation is built on tradition, but many producers now blend classic aging practices with modern precision — making it one of the most respected and dynamic wine regions in the world today.
