Viña Ardanza Red wine

Viña Ardanza Reserva 2019 is an iconic red wine from Bodegas La Rioja Alta, celebrated for its remarkable balance and sophisticated character. This wine is crafted from a blend of 80% Tempranillo and 20% Garnacha grapes, representing some of the best harvests in Rioja's storied winemaking tradition. The Tempranillo is aged for three years in American oak barrels previously used for three different wines, while the Garnacha matures for 30 months, ensuring a complex depth of flavor. Additionally, Viña Ardanza spends at least two years in the bottle before being released to further refine its taste.

In the glass, you will notice its intense cherry-red color with garnet reflections around the rim. The aromatic profile is powerful, beginning with ripe fruit notes of cherry, blackcurrant, and red plum, seamlessly evolving into balsamic and spicy nuances of pepper, licorice, clove, vanilla, toasted caramel, and nutmeg. On the palate, the wine is fresh and well-balanced, showcasing fine, silky tannins that provide an ample aftertaste, mingling red fruits with a hint of spice, presenting a long and refreshing finish.

Viña Ardanza Reserva 2019 pairs excellently with a variety of dishes, including roasted lamb, red meats, barbecued fare, game, richly spiced fish stews, and both smoked and cured cheeses. This wine is a quintessential choice for those seeking an authentic taste of Rioja, embodying the region's heritage with every sip. Explore the finesse and artistry of Viña Ardanza and indulge in a wine that embodies luxury and tradition.
