Yes to RioHa! I have lived in Spain for 5 years and no one speaking Castellano pronounces the autonomous community of La Rioja nor the wine region, of which approximately 80-85% is in La Rioja, using a k sound.

Great video, great content and help with the wset level 3!! 🙏 But, and pleeease don't take this the wrong way, try to pronounce it Rioja and not Rioka. I'm not a native Spanish speaker myself, but try to get as close to the original as possible.

I love this point, as it's very interesting. I'm not linguistic expert, so there will be issues sometimes - however, I can say that it does depend on where in Spain you're from - it's true Castillan is as you mention but Basque pronounce it more intensively often with the 'k' #itsmyexcuse

La rioja is also an autonomous community in Spain. It might not be correct to reference it to wine, but it certainly exists in Spain as a region too.

Watched this again and again, great video. In WSET textbook Gran Reserva Min. barrel ageing requirement seems to be 18 months, maybe there was an update of the laws of so?
@WineWithJimmy2 жыл бұрын
Hi Stella - please read the fine print at the bottom of the table on page 132 of your test book. The exact definition from the consejo regulador is "Ageing in oak barrels and in the bottle for a total period of at least sixty months, with a minimum twenty-four months barrel ageing, followed and complemented by a minimum twenty-four months in the bottle."
@lawrencemifsudbonnici84853 жыл бұрын
Excellent stuff..I do have a question regarding the oak ageing requirements for a Gran Riserva. The WSET text book, pg 132, refers to 18 months for oak ageing, not 2 years.
@WineWithJimmy3 жыл бұрын
Hi Lawrence - in the text book on page 132 this large table is for general Spanish Wine Laws - so the 18 months you mention for Gran Reserva is for general Spanish wine (e.g. regions such as La Mancha, Navarra etc). If you look at the sentence at the bottom on the page it states 'Note: Some regions, such as Rioja, require that the wines made there are aged for longer both in the total and in barrel.' And Rioja is 24 months in comparison.
@lawrencemifsudbonnici84853 жыл бұрын
@@WineWithJimmy thanks for the prompt reply. The oak ageing for a (general) Gran Riserva features as a typical multiple choice question in the Wset study guide which is why I wanted to iron out any potential discrepancy. Hope to visit your wine school when I visit London. Regards

Thank you so much for your videos- they're greatly appreciated during my revision! One question- you mentioned that the line "high acidity, high tannin, full-bodied" on the slide with the flavor profile would be correct for wines from the Alavesa, but according to the WSET study guide, those wines would be lightest in style. Were you just referring to the higher acidity and tannin structure, or could it be true that those wines can be full-bodied as well?
@WineWithJimmy3 жыл бұрын
Hi Vivian - I have always been perplexed this specific sentence in the L3 text. There is definitely more potential elegance in the Alavesa due to the higher % of limestone geology and therefore often brighter acidities BUT the Alavesa is known for producing some of the fullest Rioja wines especially with some higher tannins. But sadly, for the exam you must adhere to the book. Well noted though :--)

Each human brain is very different so it depends on your mind and your approach to study - for me, the best thing was picture/map association - so I would draw very colourful maps of these regions and annotate them with all the relevant information and then carefully locate them throughout my house and workspace. So when I go to make a cup of coffee, above that area sits Bordeaux and I associate coffee with Bordeaux, every morning, and it helps me remember.

Please pronounce “Rioha” not “Rioka” , people need to learn the right pronunciation of key words like Rioja, Albariño, Cariñena
@WineWithJimmy3 ай бұрын
In Latin Spanish you are correct, but Basque pronounce (which Rioja lies partly in) with a harder 'k' - as with many European languages it is important to remember that there are multiple dialects.
