Rioja is a wine, with Denominacion de Origen Calificada Rioja, Protected designation of origin, from a region named after the Rio Oja in Spain, a tributary of the Ebro. Rioja is made from grapes grown in the autonomous communities of La Rioja and Navarre and the Basque province of Alava. La Rioja is further subdivided into three zones, in rising order of warmth, Rioja Alavesa, Rioja Alta and Rioja Baja. Rioja Alta is the highest of these zones and is said to produce the best wine.
