La Rioja Alta Viña Ardanza Reserva 2019

From La Rioja Alta, S. A., the Viña Ardanza Reserva 2019 is a classically styled Rioja Reserva shaped by the producer’s long-standing approach to cask-ageing. Founded in 1890 in Haro, La Rioja Alta, S. A. is known for Reserva and Gran Reserva wines, with oak at the heart of its ageing process and traditional manual racking carried out by candlelight every six months.

Described as exquisitely balanced, silky and opulent, this emblematic Reserva offers aromatic notes of spice, liquorice and pepper alongside ripe red fruits. A touch of balsamic leads into a long, smooth finish, making it a considered choice for those who appreciate traditional Rioja character and a style focused on showcasing pure fruit expression.
