Bar Rioja

This bar is dedicated purely to the wonderful wines from the Rioja region of northern Spain, our aim being to showcase the exciting variety and quality of the wines and share our enthusiasm for them with you. We fell head over heels in love with this region and its wines since our first visits and have been back on countless occasions over many years and are constantly impressed how every time the wines are simply getting better and better. We love the wines from all over Spain too, and admire the energy, skill and enthusiasm of the country’s winemakers. Spain has long been recognized for its innovative winemaking, and gastronomy too of course, and continues to offer a huge range of styles full of identity and character. Whilst we love the different grape varieties and diverse range of wines from around the country, we decided to dedicate this bar to just the Rioja region, as it offers a multifarious range of wine styles with strong identity at every price point. Whilst it was once a region steeped in tradition, with its oak-aged wines justifiably popular, and now better than ever, today it embraces the most modern of wine making techniques so offers a broad range of styles. It is a region that we feel offers unrivalled diversity, quality, value and pure joy.
