La Rioja Alta Viña Alberdi Reserva Rioja DOCa 2020 - one of the most popular and best value for money La Rioja Alta wines.
This wine captivates with its balanced character, freshness and silky texture, leaving a long, intense aftertaste. This medium-bodied wine stands out with its attractive freshness and round, silky tannins.
The grapes for this wine are hand-picked from the Mayorita, Rebollar and Bardal vineyards, located at an altitude of 500-600 meters, and the vines have been growing in clay and limestone soils for over 40 years.
The juice fermentation was carried out in stainless steel barrels. The wine was aged for two years: first in new American oak barrels, then for another year in used oak barrels, giving it complexity and sophistication.
Served at a temperature of 16-18 °C, the wine goes well with beef, lamb or game dishes, stews, and mature hard cheeses.
A classical, typical Rioja Alta red with elegant notes of vanilla, coconut, smoked spices and strawberries. Refined and suave, with fine tannins and a long, creamy finish. Juicy and elegant. Really approachable now, but give it two more years to get more mushroom complexity.
Bodegas La Rioja Alta is undoubtedly a representative of old Rioja, exceptionally valuing and cultivating the region's traditional winemaking methods. Their “Gran Reserva” wine is aged for no less than six years in barrel and a further two years in bottle before reaching the consumer, embodying patience and mastery. The high-altitude vineyards of La Rioja Alta, with their unique conditions, lend a subtlety to the wines, sometimes even reminiscent of Burgundy’s ‘Pinot Noir’. While the La Rioja Alta group also includes wineries in Galicia (Rias Baixas) and Ribera del Duero (Burgos), it is their traditional Rioja style that remains their hallmark.
