Vina Ardanza Reserva 2004

Vina Ardanza Reserva 2004

Medium-high cherry red robe, with orange tinted tones on the edge of the glass, clear and brilliant. Intense and complex to the nose. Wild berry aromas predominate, blended with hints of coconut, cinnamon, tobacco and leather. Full-bodied and well structured to the palate, with silky and enveloping tannins.
Long after-taste acquired from its lengthy time in bottle, where its elegant bouquet gains in intensity. This Viña Ardanza continues to evolve without losing its traditional qualities.

“I would not be surprised if it eventually was labeled Reserva Especial, it is that good. Deep purple in colour, it exhibits an enticing bouquet of Asian spices, balsamic, tobacco, and black cherry. On the palate, it effortlessly combines power and elegance. It should easily evolve for 10-15 years and drink well for 20-30 years. Given the modest price at release, it seems foolish for lovers of traditional Rioja not to invest in a case. Drink from 2010-2040.”

The winery was created in 1890 and was first know as "Sociedad Vinicola De La Rioja Alta". This was the beginning of a fascinating business venture in which the only dream of the five founders was to craft and age high quality wines.
The company changed its name to "La Rioja Alta" in 1891 and expanded its vineyards little by little.
