"La Rioja Alta has a long-standing reputation for producing some of the region’s best, most traditionally made wines, across the range. Solid value is the rule here, from top to bottom... Tempranillo fans of the old Rioja school, are loyal followers of the estate with good reason."
Josh Raynolds, Vinous

"I have found many wines I like in 2016, and the wine feels very clean and quite harmonious, younger and less developed, with more primary notes and a velvety mouthfeel."
94+ points, Luis Gutiérrez, the Wine Advocate

"This classy Rioja opens with a nose of strawberry jam, dried cranberries and red plum alongside pronounced coconut and dill. The comforting and silky palate melds Figgy Pudding with darker berries. Expertly delivered, with a long life ahead of it yet."

Viña Ardanza 2016Built To Last

The season enjoyed a warm, dry summer which gives the wine a real ripeness to the fruit. This is well balanced by a freshness and perfume, driven by the high-altitude, old-vine Garnacha that is the key to Ardanza’s unique personality. Rioja Alta are praised across thew world for the ability of all of their wines to age. This Ardanza is absolutely delicious now after extended maturation at the Estate, but has the structure and intensity to last for decades. We recently tried the 1994 and 1989 - both of which are drinking beautifully. We challenge you to find another wine at this price point that ages so well!

Producer:La Rioja Alta

Formed by five families in the late 19th century, the La Rioja Alta S.A. winery is one of the most iconic names in Fine Wine, and a benchmark for the traditional style of Rioja. Their Tempranillo-led reds are aged for remarkably long periods in barrels from the producer’s cooperage, and they are one of the last remaining producers to rack their wines by hand and by candlelight – which they do every six months. While they always upheld standards and tradition, La Rioja Alta S.A. never stopped experimenting and pushing for better quality, offering some of the purest, more precise expressions of Tempranillo in the world.
