A carpenter from the south put away nearly new wine (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rioja

'wine' is the definition.
(Rioja is an example)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for rioja that I've seen before include "Wine from northern Spain" , "Popular Spanish wine" , "Spanish red wine" , "Spanish table wine" , "Spanish drink" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
