Rioja, in northern Spain, is best known for its berry-flavored, barrel-aged red wines made from Tempranillo and Garnacha. It is probably the leading wine region in Spain. It is certainly the most famous, rivaling only Jerez. The Vineyards follow the course of the Ebro for a hundred kilometres between the towns of Haro and Alfaro.
Besides Tempranillo and Garnacha, Graciano and Mazuelo (Carignan) are also used in Rioja's red wines. Some wineries, notably Marqués de Riscal, use small amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon. White grapes are planted much less. In 2017, the vineyard area was recorded at 64,215 hectares (158,679 acres).

It is thought to have originated in Hungary, as Adolf Stark, a winegrower in Bekescsaba (Hungary), created it in 1904. According to genetic analyses, it is the result of a cross between the Madeleine angevine and the Muscat fleur d'oranger. The Csaba pearl has been used to obtain a few crosses (the red Csaba pearl is an example), the aim always being to try to find new varieties with early maturity. Today, it is only found in ornamental gardens, interesting only for its great earliness. Its many defects mean that it is almost on the verge of extinction, although it is included in the official catalogue of vine varieties on the A1 list.
