VINA ARDANZA RESERVA 2005 - LA RIOJA ALTA

0,75 L Red Wine / Spain / Rioja / Rioja DO / 13,5 % vol

"An exceptional vintage, expressive, aromatic and elegant (...) a great energy and a beautiful tannic grain (...) An unusual balance in the length" R. Parker

This great wine stands out thanks to its long ageing in oak barrels used for several wines (to not mark the wine too much): 36 months for the Tempranillo, 30 months for the Garnacha. The wines are then blended in barrels and bottled only in 2015. Vinatis offer the opportunity to try a wine already weathered by several years of ageing in the bottle. This is a rare chance in the life of a wine lover since they have never left Bodega since bottling. The bouquet reveals a great intensity of red and black fruits that are very fresh and of great complexity. The density on the palate wins us over with its power velvet and perfect balance between fruity and delicate woody aromas. The finish is successfully fresh on an incredible length with hints of truffles and undergrowth due to ageing in the bottle. Here is a rare bottle that should not be missed.

LA RIOJA ALTA

In the year 1890, 5 Basque winegrowers, born in Rioja, in the north of Spain, founded in Haro, on July 10, the 'Sociedad Vinícola de la Rioja Alta'. From the start, they had the ambition to produce elite wines and decided at the end of the 19th century to recruit a French oenologist: Alfonso Vigier. At the time, only the most prestigious estates could recruit such wine experts. If for decades, the oak barrels of the property were made on site, they ceased this activity for several years and then resumed it in 2003. Today the cooperage belongs to the estate and the barrels are once again made to measure. to the estate to guarantee elite toast and woodiness. The result is grandiose and wine lovers all over the world dream of being able to buy the wines of "La Rioja Alta"! The estate has largely contributed to the worldwide reputation of the Rioja vineyard, which today shines beyond borders for the quality of its wines. The famous specialist magazine Decanter: “The philosophy of La Rioja Alta has always been to strive for perfection through both traditional and innovative processes. Offering a wide variety of unique, high quality wines with personality and charm, the Rioja Alta wine range showcases the best that Spain has to offer."
