Deep, savory Rioja in a concentrated 2019 guise, La Rioja Alta Viña Ardanza Reserva shows rich red and black fruit wrapped in layers of sweet baking spice, toasted coconut, and a hint of balsamic herb. The palate is full-bodied yet controlled, with polished tannins, lively acidity and a long, flavorsome finish that reveals both its traditional American-oak charm and a more vivid, modern fruit core. Still youthful and a bit oak-forward now, it promises far greater harmony and complexity with a few more years in bottle.

Viña Ardanza Reserva is La Rioja Alta’s emblematic, traditionally styled Rioja Reserva, a Tempranillo‑based blend (with a significant Garnacha component from Rioja Oriental) sourced from mature estate vineyards in Rioja Alta. Long aging in the bodega’s own American oak barrels gives the wine its hallmark combination of silky red and black fruit with notes of spice, leather, tobacco and balsamic complexity, making it both classically old‑school in profile and capable of graceful, long-term aging.
