2010 Vina Ardanza Reserva Seleccion Especial La Rioja Alta
£45.00
“Rioja Alta at its luxurious best. Aromatically it’s all truffle, sweet spices and red flowers, then in the mouth there’s a refreshing note of cherry, redcurrant, acidity. A rasp of tannin gives added interest and there’s a resounding finish. The Tempranillo comes from the Rioja Alta zone, and the Garnacha from the La Pedriza vineyard in Rioja Oriental. Three years in American oak, with six rackings. The first Ardanza Selección Especial since 2001, 1973 and 1964. ”
Founded in the 19th Century, growing in the 20th Century and still passionate in the 21th Century, La Rioja Alta is one of the most respected names of the region.
Vina Ardanza Reserva is always a benchmark Rioja, released only in good vintages with the Seleccion Especial designation only applied to exceptional vintages.
