Description
La Rioja Alta Viña Alberdi Reserva Rioja is a classic, beautifully crafted red wine from one of the most prestigious names in Haro’s historic Barrio de la Estación. Celebrated for its remarkable consistency and elegance, this Reserva is crafted entirely from Tempranillo grapes to highlight the pristine purity and vibrant character of the variety. It offers a perfect balance of traditional Rioja charm and modern fruit purity, making it a benchmark for the region.
Why You'll Love It
This exceptional Reserva delivers the signature complexity and silkiness of traditional Rioja without needing decades in the cellar. Known for its incredible versatility and approachability, Viña Alberdi undergoes rigorous oak ageing that imparts delightful notes of vanilla and sweet spice while allowing the bright, juicy dark fruit to remain the star of the show. It represents outstanding value for a wine from such a legendary producer, offering a smooth, premium drinking experience.
Vineyard & Production
The fruit is entirely hand-picked from the producer's own high-altitude vineyards in Rodezno and Labastida, which sit over 500 metres above sea level to ensure balanced ripening and superb natural acidity. Following careful fermentation, the wine is aged for two years in American oak barrels manufactured in the house's own cooperage. The first year is spent in brand new oak to impart sweet spice and structure, followed by a second year in neutral barrels to seamlessly integrate the fruit and tannins before final bottling.
Tasting Notes
Displaying a bright, deep ruby red colour, this elegant Rioja opens with intense, inviting aromas of fresh wild strawberries, ripe black cherries, and redcurrants, seamlessly interwoven with classic notes of vanilla, toasted brioche, and sweet nutmeg. On the palate, it is remarkably fresh and well-structured, with supple, silk-like tannins and a vibrant core of red fruit. The finish is long, clean, and beautifully balanced, leaving lingering hints of balsamic and baking spices.
Perfect Pairings
A brilliantly versatile food wine, this Tempranillo pairs effortlessly with a wide range of dishes. It is the ultimate match for traditional Spanish tapas, such as jamón Ibérico, chorizo cooked in cider, or manchego cheese. It also accompanies roasted lamb shanks, grilled pork chops, beef stews, and homemade burgers beautifully, whilst its bright acidity cuts through the richness of a wild mushroom risotto or a rustic wood-fired pizza.
