The aroma reveals cherries, red plums, dried cranberries, vanilla, tobacco, cedar, and sweet spices. Extended aging adds subtle notes of leather, tea leaves, and balsamic. On the palate, the wine is silky, elegant, and exceptionally balanced, with soft tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, refined finish.
About the manufacturer
La Rioja Alta is one of the most prestigious and traditional Rioja wineries, founded in 1890 in the town of Haro. It belongs to the so-called "classic Rioja style," where the most important aspect is long and carefully controlled aging in oak barrels, followed by further aging in the bottle. The winery is renowned for its extremely precise work with oak – barrels are either made in-house or under strict control, and the wine is regularly decanted by hand. The philosophy is based on the idea that Rioja wine should not only be fruity but also evolve over time: from fresh red berries to complex layers of vanilla, spices, and tobacco. Viña Alberdi is one of their "lightest" Reserva-style wines, yet it still maintains a classic Rioja structure and aging potential.
