The Qualified Denomination of Origin Rioja (DOCa Rioja) is synonymous with excellence in the world of wine. Located in northern Spain, this wine region has gained global recognition thanks to its combination of tradition and innovation in the production of red wines.
For centuries, La Rioja has been the cradle of some of the best red wines in Spain, characterized by their richness, complexity, and aging potential.
We invite you to discover two of Ferrer Wines’ Rioja wines and how you can pair them perfectly to enjoy their flavors to the fullest.
The Rioja region is divided into three sub-areas: Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa, and Rioja Oriental. Each one brings unique characteristics to the wines, from the elegance and freshness of Rioja Alta to the power and structure of Rioja Oriental.
This diversity is due to factors such as altitude, climate, and soils, which allow grapes like Tempranillo, Garnacha, and Graciano to reach their full potential.
DOCa Rioja was the first to receive the status of “Qualified Denomination of Origin” in Spain, which underscores the quality and reputation of its wines worldwide.
Wineries in this region have been dedicated to perfecting their winemaking techniques, balancing the best of tradition with innovations that ensure the production of exceptional red wines.
Within this prestigious framework, at Ferrer Wines, we offer a range of wines that capture the essence of La Rioja, perfect for any wine lover, and our top winery Bodegas Orube, surrounded by vineyards and with the spectacular Sierra de Cantabria in the background.
One of our most representative red wines is Orube Crianza. This wine is not only an ambassador of the winery worldwide but also a true reflection of what DOCa Rioja has to offer.
Orube Crianza presents itself with an intense and bright cherry red color, a sign of its time in the barrel and the quality of the grapes used.
Orube Crianza is a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes.
Another outstanding red wine is Etcétera Crianza. This wine is a display of the elegance that characterizes Rioja wines, with an aromatic complexity that makes it perfect for any occasion.
Etcétera Crianza stands out for its bright garnet red color of medium intensity, which denotes its maturity and careful barrel aging.
It is a medium-persistent wine, easy to drink, making it an excellent choice for pairing with a meal or enjoying on its own.
To fully enjoy Etcétera Crianza, it is recommended to serve it between 16-18°C, a temperature that allows all its aromatic and taste qualities to shine.
Pairing is an art that enhances the flavors of both the wine and the dish. The red wines of Rioja, with their richness and complexity, are ideal companions for a variety of meats and roasts. Here are some tips for choosing the best Spanish red wine depending on the dish you are serving.
For game dishes, such as wild boar stew or venison civet, a red crianza wine with good acidity and body is the best option. Orube Crianza, with its velvety tannins and fruity aftertaste, is ideal for balancing the intense and wild flavors of game meat.
Both Orube Crianza and Etcétera Crianza are fantastic options for accompanying a board of aged cheeses and cured meats. The salty and fatty flavors of the cheeses are complemented by the wine’s acidity and fruit, while the cured meats highlight the spicy and smoky notes.
For pasta dishes with rich sauces, like a Bolognese or a ragout, Etcétera Crianza is a smart choice. Its round tannins and balanced acidity provide the necessary structure to pair with the intense flavors of the sauce without overwhelming the palate.
Buying red wines directly from the winery offers a series of advantages that not only enhance the shopping experience but also ensure you enjoy a product at its best.
