Rioja Wines: Explore Our Curated Collection
1 wines found
Few wine regions carry the weight and reputation of Rioja. Celebrated for its age-worthy Tempranillo-based reds and increasingly admired for its complex whites, this storied denominación continues to inspire wine lovers across the globe. At Mercado 46, we've assembled a thoughtfully curated selection spanning the full breadth of the region — from approachable, fruit-forward everyday bottles to serious, cellar-worthy releases. With vintages ranging from 2022 to 2024 and prices from €7.25 to €97.50, there's something here for every level of enthusiasm and every occasion worth marking.
What Makes Rioja So Compelling
Rioja's enduring appeal lies in its remarkable versatility. The region's three distinct subzones — Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa, and Rioja Oriental — each impart a recognisable personality to the wines they yield. Rioja Alta tends to produce elegant, mineral-driven reds with fine-grained tannins and a graceful finish. Rioja Alavesa, with its limestone-rich soils, often delivers more structured, terroir-driven expressions. Rioja Oriental, warmer and further inland, contributes body and richness. Together, they form one of the world's most coherent and compelling wine regions.
Highlights from Our Selection
Among the standout bottles in our current catalogue, the Conde de los Andes Blanco 2019 deserves particular attention — a white Rioja of genuine depth and complexity, showing honeyed stone fruit, a minerally backbone, and a long, textured finish that rewards patience in the glass. On the red side, Calados del Puntido from Viñedos Sierra Cantabria is a terroir-driven expression that showcases everything great about the region: dark fruit, grippy tannins that soften beautifully with time, and an intensity that speaks of low yields and meticulous winemaking. For those seeking the pinnacle of the bodega's range, the Sierra Cantabria Colección Privada Tinto is a full-bodied, oak-aged Tempranillo of impressive concentration and aromatic complexity — a wine built for the cellar as much as the table.
